Learn how to report a fire or other emergency!

If there is a fire or someone is hurt, you need help! To reach the Fire Department or an ambulance you can call the 911 emergency number. Here's how:

• First, make sure you know the address where you are calling from.
• Dial the numbers 911.
• When the dispatcher answers, say, "I want to report a fire (or an accident or other emergencies)".
• Give the address.
• Listen carefully for any questions.
• Don't hang up until the dispatcher says it's OK.

Safety at home

• Make sure your family has a plan for getting out of the house in case of fire! Have fire drills to practice getting out if fire blocks the doors.
• Don't play in the kitchen when food is being cooked! If you are a meal time helper, make sure you know how to use utensils safely.
• Leave cords and electrical outlets alone.
• Eat only food! Many things in boxes and bottles, like cleaning chemicals, are poisons!
• Don't tell anyone if you are home alone.
• Let only people you know come into your house. Don't open the door to strangers.
• Memorize your own telephone number and address so you will know it in the case of an emergency.

Bike Safety

• Make sure your bike has safety reflectors on the front and back.
• Don't take off the chain guard -it keeps your clothes from tangling in the chain.
• Always keep both hands on the handlebars when you are riding.
• Wear a helmet to protect your head if you fall.
• Only one person to a bike!
