Galveston Fire Department Brings the Smokehouse

The Galveston Fire Department brought the Smokehouse to Howard Elementary in order to teach Fire Safety. The firemen taught us how important it was to know our address and telephone number. We also need to know when to dial 911 and how to tell them about our emergency. We learned that we are to touch a door with the back of our hand to see if it is warm before opening it. We always crawl when there is smoke, so it will not get in our lungs. We need to establish a meeting place for our family to meet once everyone is outside. We should never go back in to a burning house. We let the firemen do that job.
