Welcome to story time! I’m Miss Sharon. This is Fire Safety Week, so we’re very excited to have Firefighter Dan Turner from the East Peoria Fire Department here to help us learn what to do if there’s a fire! But first let’s start with an opening song.
Song: It’s Time To Hear A Story
(to the tune of: The More We Get Together)
It’s time to hear a story, a story, a story.
It’s time to hear a story. I’ll read it to you.
So sit on the carpet, get ready to listen.
It’s time to hear a story. I’ll read it to you.

Fire Safety Lesson:
Thank you, Firefighter Dan, for coming to talk to us about fire safety! Remember to talk to your family about a safe place to go outside if there’s a fire in your house. If there’s a fire, get to that safe spot outside and then make sure someone calls 911 for help.
