Where there’s smoke… can be used as a stimulus for initiating discussions with children about modern day fire safety. West Midlands Fire Service can be a means of supporting these discussions as they provide a variety of activities designed to raise awareness of the dangers of fire, particularly in the home.
The Service has a range of resources available to support pupils from key stage one, these include:
The Big Red Fire Engine activity box (contains four small uniforms and helmets, two jigsaws, three fire safety posters and a photocopiable workbook/colouring book)
- Fire Safety for Early Years pack (contains a photocopiable workbook/colouring book, a storybook, stickers, height chart and poster)
- My book about Firefighters (Activity book aimed at Year 1)
- Help yourself and others (Activity book aimed at Year 1 and 2)
- Fire! Fire! Fire! (Activity book aimed at Year 1 and 2)
Your local Fire Station or Community Relations Officer from one of the local Fire Safety Centres may also be able to visit a class or have a class visit the fire station.
