Safety Squad Video #4: Bedroom Safety

Hi, Safety Squad, Firefighter Tim here. and today, we’re going to talk about bedroom safety. In the last video, we spoke about what you should do if you hear a smoke alarm going off. Do you remember the phrase I gave you? That’s right!”Get low and go!” Good job. Remember, when we’re inside our home and we see smoke or fire, we need to immediately “get low and go” outside where it’s safe. But what happens if a fire starts in the middle of the night while we’re sleeping? Here’s another phrase I want you to remember.”Close before you doze.” This means that you close your bedroom door before you go to sleep. So why would we do that? Well, if your door is closed, the fire and smoke will have a hard time getting into your bedroom.

By closing your bedroom door every night before you go to sleep, if a fire does start in the middle of the night, you’ll have more time to get to safety.

Fire engineers, who are real life fire scientists, have done many experiments that prove a closed door prevents smoke and fire from entering a room. If lots of smoke and fire and outside your bedroom door, and your door is too hot to touch, don’t open it. We don’t want to crawl through the hot, yucky smoke to look for an exit. In this case, we should stay in our bedroom, we should keep the bedroom door closed. When the door is closed, the fire and smoke will have a hard time getting into your room, and you’ll have plenty of clean air to breathe until help arrives.

Next, we want to go to a window and wave our hands in front of it, if you know how to open the window, open it and start yelling out the window. Firefighters will be walking around the home looking in all the windows for anyone who may need help.

By being close to the window, they’ll be able to see where you are, and then come help you get to safety. It may be scary to wake up with smoke in your home. Remember that firefighters are coming to help you.

They’ll be wearing a helmet and special breathing mask that make them look and sound strange, but this protects from the fire and smoke. It’s important to stay close to the window and not hide anywhere in your bedroom. If you hide under the bed, or in your closet, then firefighters will have a really hard time finding you. So, the best place to be is near the window so that people can see you.

Okay, that’s it!

Great job today. Let’s review everything we learned. Do you remember that phrase I gave you at the beginning? That’s right! “Close before you doze!” This means that you should close your bedroom door before going to sleep. This will help protect you if a fire starts in the middle of the night. Now, if your door is too hot to touch, should you open it? NO! Great job.

If the door is too hot to touch, you should keep it closed and go to a window so that firefighters can see you from the outside of the home. Remember not to hide so that we can easily find you and get you outside to safety. Great job today, Safety Squad, that’s it for today! Stay safe and I’ll see you next time.
