 Activity 1. A Burnt Ship
By John Donne
Read the poem. Imagine the
scenario that it describes and then
write a paragraph or sketch about
your understanding of the poem.
What realization can
you give based on the
poem?
 What should you do during a fire incident?
1. Check the door.
Check if there is smoke coming from under the door or if
the door is hot to touch. If the door is cool to touch, open
it slowly and pass. If not, keep it closed and stay in the
room. Place wet towels on the gaps to prevent fire and
smoke from coming in. Have someone pop out of a
window and wave something bright, like a flashlight or a
brightly-colored cloth, to signal for help. Once out of the
room, use your building’s emergency exit and evacuate
immediately without panic.
What should you do during a fire incident?
2. P.A.S.S.
To use a fire extinguisher, first Pull the pin in the
handle. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
Squeeze the lever slowly and Sweep from side
to side. Use a fire extinguisher if and only if it is
within reach, and only to put out small fires. If
the fire is big, leave!
What should you do during a fire incident?
3. Stay low
Crawl and cover your nose and mouth.
Smoke is toxic and inhaling large amounts
can render you unconscious. Once you are
outside, call the fire department. Do not
attempt to go back to the burning building.
What should you do during a fire incident?
4. Stop, Drop, and Roll
If your clothes caught fire, do not panic or
touch the flame as it could only spread the
fire. Stop moving, Drop on the ground, and
Roll around until the fire is put out. Doing
this will lessen injuries and put out the fire
as quickly as possible.
What should you do during a fire incident?
5. National Emergency Hotline 911
Nothing is better than being prepared.
Before fire happens, be aware of the fire
exits in your building and homes. Make sure
you know the emergency numbers for your
town or city.
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
1. Don’t install smoke alarm detectors.
A smoke detector gives early warning of a
fire increasing the chances of escape. They
are so cheap and easy to fit you can have no
excuses
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
2. Pop upstairs to retrieve heirlooms,
passports and pets.
Fire can spread very quickly blocking your
escape route. Keep that sort of stuff on the
ground floor.
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
3. Open doors that have smoke flowing from
the joints.
Opening the door will add oxygen that will
fuel the fire and cause a fireball that could
take you off your feet for good. A contained
fire may burn out for lack of oxygen.
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
4. Throw water on a chip pan fire.
We all know that water doesn’t mix with oil.
The burning oil will explode spreading the
fire and engulfing you in the process. If you
are going to throw anything make it a
purpose made fire blanket or use a class F
extinguisher.
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
6. Try and escape using an Elevator.
The electric circuits are often the first to
blow. Being trapped in an elevator in a fire
could roast you alive. Always use the
stairwells.
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
7. Jump from an upstairs window.
The fall could kill you. Use blankets as a rope
and throw mattresses out to cushion the
landing or better still use a purpose made
escape ladder.
What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
8. Hide in a cupboard or under the bed.
Hard enough for the fire service without
having to play hide and seek and it won’t
save you from the smoke and heat.
 What you should NOT do during a Fire Incident?
9. Delay calling the Fire and Rescue Services.
Don’t dilly dally. Make them your first call to
action. Seconds save lives.
