March 22nd at 10 AM - Fire Safety Center in Meridian
Located at 1901 E. Leighfield Drive
The Fire Safety Center is a fabulous educational tool used to teach fire prevention and fire survival in an interactive manner. The Center looks like an actual home with kitchen and bedrooms. Learn about and experience:
*Sprinklers in controlling fires
*How to behave in smoke - Children will actually exit the home through a window
*Practice calling 9-1-1 on the center's phone
* Cooking safety
*Medicine and cleaning supply safekeeping
This fieldtrip is designed for the 2nd grade range. Younger or older children are welcome, though parents are encouraged to keep younger children away from the "burn room" if children would be distraught. The "burn room" is a bedroom that has a recreation of an actual fire that took place in Meridian. There will also be loud noise from the smoke alarms during the demonstrations.
This fieldtrip is limited to 20 children. Please RSVP to Ruth Hansen to reserve your spot. 466-0667 srbfkhansen@cableone.net
