Firefigher Kyle


Happy Sunday!! Did your kindergarten kid tell you that we had a super special visitor on Friday?!? We were so lucky to have Fireman Kyle come to discuss fire safety with us! Kyle works at Station #9 in Lincoln and is the daddy to a special kindergarten kid named Sidney!! We were SO excited to hear all of the stuff he had to say!

Fireman Kyle talked to us about how we can use our 5-Senses to detect fire! We can see fire, we can hear fire, we can smell fire, and touch fire. We DON’T want to taste fire! We talked about having smoke detectors in our house and how IMPORTANT they are!! Mrs. Schroeder even learned that we need to sleep with our doors shut because that can help keep fire out! I started sleeping with my doors shut last night!

A favorite activity was practicing crawling on the ground. We learned that smoke goes up so we go down! We talked about how having two exits is very important. First, we should go to the door and then a window. We practiced crawling to these two spots….it took us back to our baby years!! Fireman Kyle also told us how important it is for us to use the back of our hand to feel the door because it isn’t as sensitive. If we see smoke or fire when we crack our door we need to go the second exit!!

Next, we talked about the difference between tools and toys. We have spent a lot of time talking about tools lately so this was perfect!! We even talked about what an emergency is and when we should call 911….some of our ideas were; if people get hurt, if there is a fire, if you get poked by a needle or knife, car accidents, and bike accidents (we NEED to wear our helmet to prevent these!)

The last thing we did was watch Fireman Kyle put on all of his awesome fire gear! He told us that when he puts his gear on he is going to look different and sound different. Many of my friends thought he sounded like Darth Vader!!! We discussed that we need to have a plan on where to meet our family if there is a fire and that we should NEVER go back into a fire for ANYTHING!!!!! Thanks so much Fireman Kyle for a great time!! We LOVED having you come visit!!
