The homework tonight was assigned by volunteer fireman Mr. Brooks! He spoke the class about fire safety and asked students to complete the following homework assignments:

1. Have your parents test all the smoke detectors in the house – a. to make sure the batteries are good & b. the expiry date on the smoke detectors (they’re only good for 10 years and should be replaced).
2. Make sure that your family has an emergency escape plan in case of fire – with a meeting place away from the house.  He gave students a paper to review emergency numbers and a space for drawing out the plan.
3. Open House at the Firehall – Thursday, Oct. 8 @ 7 pm!

The fireman also talked about having a smoke detector near or in every bedroom. Their motto for this fire safety week is Hear the Beep where you Sleep!!!
