During our SPARKS sessions, Year 4 students visited in their classrooms by our frontline firefighters. 

Safety advice is shared with youngsters, including hazards around the home, what to do in the event of a fire, the importance of escape plans and smoke alarms, and why it is vital that young people know their address to accurately tell an emergency call handler where an emergency is taking place. 

They are taught about hoax calling and the dangers of wasting emergency services’ time. 

Most importantly, they are advised how to ‘stop, drop and roll’, if they find themselves on fire and to get out, stay out, and call 999 if they are in a property on fire.
