This week in St. Gabriel’s N.S. we are turning our focus to learn about fire safety. We will look at how we can be more mindful in our daily lives in order to prevent unwanted fires from beginning. We will see how we can best prepare ourselves and our families in the event of a fire. In school we will practice our fire drill and encourage each family to discuss an escape route at home.

Some things to remember are:

We’re also learning what to do if our clothes caught fire. STOP DROP ROLL

Many classes will learn about how Dublin Fire Brigade are always on call to help us. We will look at the work in which the fire brigade engage, the uniforms they wear and the equipment they need to do their jobs.

As we approach our midterm break we understand that Halloween is a time when we need to be extra mindful about fire. There may be occasions where we come across candles, fireworks and bonfires. Caution is required, especially when wearing costumes. We hope that learning about fire safety will ensure that we all keep extra safe this Halloween and in the future.
