Rabbi B - Fire Safety

[Music] well hi there I'm here with a very special friend it's district Chief Jack ben b he of Vaughn Fire and Rescue Services and he's a firefighter hi jack hi Rena baby thank you so much for coming and speaking with Wang nice to see you again of course always a pleasure while here with my friend over here and we're wondering what does a firefighter do well firefighters go to a lot of emergencies we go to medical calls we go to fire alarms we go to car accidents and of course rev IV we go to fires to fire so I know fires are very dangerous and we don't want to go ever near a fire because fire is hot but what does a firefighter do to keep himself safe oh that's a good question rev IV we actually have special clothes we have our bunker gears and helmet and maybe I can show you what it's like I'd love to see that what do you wear tell me some of the things that you might wear in a fire well before we leave the station we jump into our bunker put them into our bunker boots our bunker pants and we pulled them up with our suspenders oh my goodness do this at all hours of the day of the night and then we move on put our bunker jacket mm jump onto the truck and get ready to go to that call wow you look like your legs are ready for the fire and very safe and a fire and that with those special pants and boots but it looks like your top part of your body might not be so safe you are something on the top of your body yes then there's our bunker jacket bunker jacket Wow now that looks like a very thick jacket it is right baby it's there to protect us so in case we have to go into that fire where there's lots of heat we don't get burned Wow now is this a same kind of jacket that I would be able to have for myself everyday kind of jacket oh no Rev IV this is specially made just for firefighters okay so it's a very fire safe kind of jacket just just for firefighters now I see your legs are safe I see your top body is safe now I see your hands do not look safe in a fire because there's nothing covering them oh look what I have I knew it now those are special kinds of global fight are there for firefighters and there is there to protect us again if we go to those fires so we don't burn our hands or maybe we're gonna touch sharp objects we don't want to cut ourselves up so you're being extra extra careful in a fight all the time safety comes first safety is very important and that's why we're having this talk now as far as safety looks like most of your body is pretty safe but I think there's one part fireman Jack that is not so safe boys and girls do you know what part of firefighter jack is not safe right now that's right his head now I'm sure there's something you wear on your head there is it's the firefighter helmet wow that's a great helmet and it looks really thick and big now what is this helmet special what's special about this helmet instead word in case we're crawling around into tight areas and we bump her head it's there to protect us all right and if something is falling down and also it'll protect us as well wow that's a very protective and safe firefighter helmet now can did you do have the Fate that's not anything for your face to help you breathe in a fire if there's smoke how it was a firefighter gonna breathe in the smoke so then we go put the face piece on a face piece Wow now your whole body looks like it's protected against very hot fire and also this mask looks like it helps you if there's a lot of smoke absolutely as a matter of fact we would connect four mask to an air stone there so we're breathing normal air we don't want to be breathing in smoke it's very dangerous for you now right now firefighter Jack you look a little bit scary to me should our friends at home be scared if they see a firefighter oh no we're your friends so boys and girls if you see firefighters and a lot of times we're going to be crawling in when there's a dangerous area a small tea area if you see us we're your friends we're out there to reach out and to save you and help you that's right and firefighter jack is a very good friend and very friendly and helpful and firefighters are always there to help so that's amazing you look really really good and ready I think maybe this year for poor him I'll dress up as a firefighter oh yeah well then I'm gonna dress up like you're a baby whoa I feel like a real firefighter now and you look like rabbis IV well thank you so much for coming today but there's another important thing to know what do we do if there is a fire so rabbi B there's a fire we should get out of the house get away from the smoke go to a safe area let's tell a grown-up and of course call nine-one-one Wow great advice to get away from the fire tell a grown-up and call 911 so much for showing us how you stay safe in a fire and how we can be safe getting away from a fire thank you so much for helping us today a firefighter Jack Thank You rabbi B I want to keep this before okay bye-bye well Happy Hanukkah well I'm here again with my good friend district chief Jack Ben be he a von Fire and Rescue Services and you know Hanukkah is such a wonderful time I love Hanukkah so do I very joy season really happy time and we want to stay happy and be safe and of course we know when we're talking about fire we're talking about menorahs and menorahs have fire absolutely so how can we be safe around a menorah that's a good question so make sure your mommy daddy they're around when the menorahs are late and you don't want to be around curtains drapes anything that's gonna be in the way cuz that could catch fire so like a decoration or anything that can cut be caught on fire should not be near the menorah that's right and of course make sure it's in a sturdy table yes a very sturdy table so the menorah shouldn't fall over or get knocked over exactly aha what if a child is helping their mommy or daddy light the menorah what should they do that's a good idea so it's very important for that boy or girl to be standing on a very sturdy surface so they don't fall over and maybe if they have long hair tie it up because we don't want the hair to fall over that could catch on fire so that could be very dangerous right now what about the candles the candles should be probably put in very safely and make sure that they don't topple over yes and it should be straight you don't want the candles to be tilted and of course always around an adult always with a mommy or daddy or a doll to help you now once the candles are lit on the menorah it's a very big mitzvah to stay near them and watch them and enjoy them now once the candles are already lit how can we be safe around them well let's make sure that we don't run around the table run around the candles we don't want to be throwing things and of course it's fun to play with your dreidels however we could do that in a separate area not next to the menorah mmm and keep all dancing as well away from the menorah where you're not going to by accident bump into it well thank you so much for helping us today firefighter jack with all those great tips about how to be safe around a menorah I want to wish you a very happy and safe Hanukkah and a happy safe cracker to you - Robert thank you and of course a happy and safe Hanukkah to you [Music] you
