Fire Safety

Last weekend my daughter's Daisy Troop did Fire Safety training. When the Daises take a field trip, it is essential to wear the correct clothing indicating that you are a Daisy and proud of it. Well, I was rushed and forgot her Daisy tunic. However, she is proudly displaying her favorite NFL team!

The training was comprehensive. They learned how to crawl out of a burning house....

They learned how to climb out of a window in case the doors were blocked.....

Of course, once you are out, you strike a pose!

We learned all about the training the fire staff must take.....

Lauren looks a little worried here so I ask, "Honey, what are you thinking?" "Mommy, I don't want you to be a fireman. They do scary things." We spoke awhile about that.

When we got home, Lauren hounded Jim and I to create our home fire safety plan, which we did. "I'm glad we got that settled," she said. She wasn't worried anymore.

I encourage all to have a fire safety plan and educate your children about what to do in case of fire. Your county or city should have a program to provide the education and training. It really is a matter of life or death.
