PUPILS from Sutcombe School were paid a visit by Lindsey Brading from Bideford Fire Station for a fire safety talk last week.

Lindsey Brading met the children of both Class 1 and 2 and helped to explain ways in which they could stay safe at home.

The talk included identifying fire hazards, the correct way to get out of a house safely if a fire does break out and the importance of having a working smoke alarm.

The children also learned a series of rhymes, deigned to help them remember what to do in the event of a fire emergency. For example one rhyme went: ‘Get out, stay out, call 999’ and to ‘stop, drop and roll’ if part of their clothes ignites and is on fire.

The children all enjoyed the different activities and learnt important life skills relating to fire safety.
