Fire Safety Words
[We learned these words
last week. Please review them for Tuesday’s class.]
SMOKE / BREATHE SMOKE
Meaning: Smoke is the gas from a fire.
EXAMPLE: Wildfires in Washington State
make smoke. The smoke is not healthy to breathe.
FIRE HAZARD
EXAMPLE: A hazard is something that is
dangerous. Cooking on a stove is a fire hazard if someone is not careful. Putting
a heater next to curtains and furniture is a fire hazard.
PREVENT A FIRE
Meaning: Prevent a fire is to stop a
fire from happening by practicing safety.
EXAMPLE: We can prevent fires at home
by being careful when we cook food on the stove.
SMOKE ALARM
EXAMPLE: A smoke alarm makes a loud
noise when there is smoke in the house. “Beep, beep, beep!” A smoke alarm makes
the home safe from a dangerous fire.
ESCAPE / ESCAPE PLAN
Meaning: Escape
means to get away from something, usually something dangerous. An escape plan
is a set of actions to get away from something dangerous.
EXAMPLE: An
escape plan for fire will help you and your family get out of the house
quickly.
