Fire Safety
Should you play with fire?
No, fire is not a toy. It can hurt you very badly.
What number do you call when there is a serious emergency?
911.
What should you do if you see a gun?
Don't touch it.
Where should you sit while the school bus is moving?
In your seat.
What is something you should NOT share online?
Personal information such as your home address, phone number, or password.
Why is it important to have an escape plan?
So you know how to get out if there's ever a fire. Remember to close the door when escaping a fire, as that'll stop the fire from spreading.
When should you call 911?
For emergencies like fires, severe injuries, or when you see someone committing a crime.
Should you play with or pick up a gun you find?
No.
Should you walk around the bus while it is moving?
No.
You post a picture online and later delete it. Is it possible that someone still has a copy of it?
Yes. Things posted online can leave a digital footprint and may not completely disappear.
What should you do if you catch fire?
Stop. Moving will make the fire worse. Drop to the ground and roll back and forth to put the fire out. Cool the burn with cool water. Call 911 for help.
What should you tell the 911 operator?
Name, where you are, and what happened. Make sure to answer the questions and follow the instructions given by the operator.
Who should you tell if you see a gun?
A trusted adult, such as a teacher, parent, or school staff member.
Why should you listen to the bus driver?
The driver helps keep everyone safe.
Someone you don't know sends you a message online and asks you to tell them your name and where you go to school. What should you do?
Don't share that information. Stop communicating with them and tell a trusted adult.
What should you do if you see smoke or fire when escaping?
Stay low and go. Get under the smoke so it doesn't hurt your eyes.
Should you play around or make fake 911 calls?
No. 911 should only be called for real emergencies.
What should you do if another student asks you to look at a gun they found?
Stay away from it and tell a trusted adult.
Should you push or shove other students while getting on or off the bus?
No. Walk calmly and safely.
A person you met online says they are your age and asks you to keep your conversations secret from your parents. What should you do?
Don't keep it a secret. Stop talking to them and tell a trusted adult.
You are at home and suddenly the fire alarm goes off. You see smoke in the hallway on your way out. What should you do?
