Emergency Management Services (EMS) recently spent some time talking to the children of Northwest Christian School on fire safety measures.
The talk was geared towards the school’s Grade RR and R learners as they are currently learning about fire safety and occupations.
According to Grade R teacher Sharon Eksteen, it was important for the children to have such a talk as it is important for them to learn what they need to do in case of a fire.
“The children loved the siren and they enjoyed the interactive talk,” she said.
She added that they went home not only knowing to call the number 112 in case of a fire, but to stop, drop and roll if their clothes caught fire, “They learnt what not to touch too.”
