A Visit From a Fire Fighter

We enjoyed a visit from Mr. Callahan (Addison's dad) today.  He is a fire fighter here in Burlington and talked about what he does every day at work and how he helps people.  The students enjoyed learning all about his uniform and equipment and hearing and sharing different stories.  Mr. Callahan gave the students homework too!

1.  Make sure students know their address in case they have to call 911 in an emergency.
2.  Make sure the house number is big and clear on your house so fire fighters and other emergency vehicles can find the house more easily.
3.  Determine a safe meeting spot outside your home in case of an emergency so that you can wait together for the emergency crew to arrive.  It's always important to have a plan in case of an emergency!

Thank you Mr. Callahan for coming into our classroom today and thank you for being a community helper!
