Fire Safety Poems and Songs

       
Fire
       Fire can be helpful when
handled with care.
 But fire and children do not
 make a pair!
So don't play with matches
Or anything hot.
Adults may use fire,
But children should not.
~ Paula Peck

 I Am A Fireman
[tune: I'm A Little Teapot]

I am a fireman, dressed in red;
with my fire hat on my head. I can drive the fire truck; fight fire too,
And help to make things safe for you.


Never Play With Matches  
 Tune: : Frere Jacques

    Never, never play with matches.
    If you do, if you do,
    You might burn your fingers,
    You might burn your fingers,
    That won't do!  
    That won't do!

    Never, never play 
    with matches.
    If you do, if you do,
    You might burn your clothes,
    You might burn your clothes,
    That won't do!  
    That won't do

 Firefighter  
  Tune:  Frere Jacques

Firefighter, firefighter
You are brave, you are brave
Putting out the fires, 
putting out the fires
Lives you save, lives you save.


Fireman Number Eight

Fireman, fireman, number eight

Bumped his head on the gate.

The gate swung in,

The gate swung out.

That's the way they put 
the fire out!

Emergency, emergency 9-1-1

(Repeat twice more)

 


Ten Brave Firefighters

Ten brave firefighters

Standing in a row.

Ding, Ding rings the bell

Down the pole they go.

Jump on the fire truck

Ready to aim the hose

Climb up the ladder

Whoosh! Out the fire goes

(Continue to drop a number 
as you go)

 

Five little firefighters 
sleeping in their beds
The first one said "Put your 
helmet on your head!"
The second one said "Down the
 pole we'll slide"
The third one said "Get ready 
to ride!"
The fourth one said "Put your 
gas mask on your nose"
The fifth one said "I'll grab
 the hose!"
Then Woooo went the siren and
 out went the fire
And the five little firemen could finally retire!


It's important to say..
With matches, don't play.

If there's smoke you 
should know,
you'd better crawl low.

Have a fire escape plan.
Every family can.

If there's a fire, get out.
Use your escape route.

Go to a neighbor's when alone,
Then call 9-1-1 on the phone.

Clothes on fire? 
Here's your goal:
First stop, then drop, and roll!

 



What happens if there is a fire ?
Do you know what to do ? Oh !
GET OUT ! QUICK , GET OUT !
get out ! Quick ,get out !
get out ! QUICK, get out !
Stay very low and go. GO !

What happens if there is a fire ?
Do you know what to do ? Oh!
STAY OUT ! DON'T GO BACK !
stay out ! Don't go back !
stay out ! Don't go back !
Don't go back in the house. No !

What happens if there is a fire?
Do you know what to do ? Oh !
GET HELP ! CALL FOR HELP !
get help ! call for help !
get help ! call for help !
call 911 for help ! oh!


 


Four Busy Firefighters  

Four busy firefighters 
could not retire
Because they might have
 to put out a fire.
The first one rang a big 
brass bell.
The second one said, 'It's 
the Grand Hotel!'
The third one said, 'Down
 the pole we'll slide.'
The fourth one said, 
'Get ready to ride.'
The siren said, 'Get out 
of the way!'
'We have to put out a fire today!'
The red fire truck sped 
on to the fire,
As the big yellow flames grew higher and higher.
Swish went the water 
from the fire-hose spout
And in no time at all 
the fire was out.
