Great advice via Beaver Bank – Kinsac Station 48
When its the middle of the night, and there are smoke alarms and loud noises with possibly smoke and fire, it is a very scary situation for children and even adults. When they see a firefighter dressed in what looks like a big space suit who is breathing like Darth Vader and carrying an axe around, they can be even more afraid.
Teach your children that in an emergency situation, to not be afraid of or try to hide from a Firefighter. Tell them we wear a lot of gear and our voice is a muffled with our masks on but we are there to help them!????????????
