During a recent Firesmart school visit to Granton Primary School, members of Lothian & Border Fire and Rescue Service education team were delighted when a P5 pupil handed them a poem. The wee girl had written it in her own time based on what she had learned from a fire safety lesson the previous day on the causes and knowledge of fire, and the team are so impressed with Rachel’s poem that they’ve posted it on-line!
Rachel’s poem reads:
Listen now, this is no joke,
Before a fire there’s always smoke,
If you smell it, go outside,
Never find a place to hide,
Stay down low and crawl away,
Fire engines are on the way.
Rachel’s certainly remembered her Firesmart lessons, and the local Fire Service is convinced Granton has a young Bard in the making too!
