From Page 27
adding the smoke used in the fire
safety house is non-toxic.
The exercise of calling 911 allows
children to simulate an emergency
and hear a voice on the other end of
the phone asking questions about
their address and where other fami-
ly members are in the house.
A firefighter in a control booth in
the fire safety house plays the role
of the dispatch operator taking the
911 call and flips the switch that
activates the smoke.
Students listen to a smoke detec-
tor as it is activated and are told to
crawl below the smoke on their way
out.
As well, they pass a door that is
warmed electronically and asked to
feel it so they can understand how a
door would feel if a real fire were
burning behind it.
During the escape, they're given
the choice of exiting through a door
or through a window with a chain
ladder attached to it (and most
choose the window).
Bedard said the fire safety house
can also be used as a command cen-
tre at an,emergency such as a chem-
ical spill or tornado since it has both
a furnace and air conditioner.
He said ht expects it will be
demonstrated at various community
events around the county such as
fairs and Moonlight Madness.
