FHE: Fire Safety

Now that we have moved to a new house, we thought we should talk about our fire safety plan.  We reminded the kids about what they should do if they hear the smoke alarm - roll out of bed, crawl across the floor and feel the door. (not the handle)  If the door is warm, stay where they are, if not, open the door and stay low.  Then we talked about the nearest exits from each room and what to do if a throughway is obstructed and let everyone know where the emergency ladder is upstairs.  We also talked about stop, drop and roll and practiced that.  Then we had the older kids walk our 3-year old through all the things we had talked about.
