Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed as a fire safety educational tool that presents various statements related to actions one should or should not take if there is a fire in their house. The students are tasked with marking each statement as a “DO” or “DON’T,” effectively making decisions on the correct safety procedures during a fire. The worksheet includes practical directives, such as the importance of exiting the building and not returning, and procedural steps like checking door temperatures and calling emergency services. It is presented in a clear, checklist format with a firefighter illustration to engage the student’s attention.

The worksheet aims to teach students the basic dos and don’ts of fire safety in a home setting. It reinforces the concept that one should never re-enter a burning building or waste time collecting belongings. The activity helps students understand the importance of staying low to avoid smoke inhalation and the correct sequence of actions, like calling 9-1-1 after leaving the house. Through this interactive method, students learn to prioritize safety and develop a clear understanding of fire emergency protocols.
