Preschool at Chabad Fort Lee Safety First

With the holiday of Chanukah beginning on Tuesday night December 16, fire safety is an important topic to discuss. Many families will be celebrating by lighting Chanukah menorahs in their homes. The children at the Preschool at Chabad of Fort Lee enjoyed a visit from Firefighters Mary and John from the Fort Lee Fire Department for a fire safety lesson. Here are some of the things they discussed:

Plan and practice home escape plan and school fire alarm safety drills

Smoke alarms warn about fires

Practice stop, drop and roll

Get low and go under the smoke

Get out of a burning building and stay out

Call 911

Don’t be afraid of Firefighters - Firefighters rescue people

Hot things burn

Don’t play with fire

Designate a meeting place outside.

Memorize their full names, address and telephone number

We have a great opportunity to empower children with the skills and confidence that they can use to help keep themselves and others safe.

We thank Firefighters Mary and John from the Fort Lee Fire Department for coming to school for their annual fire safety lesson.
