Little Fire Station – Fire Safety Checklist

Little Fire Station – Fire Safety Checklist

This free checklist is designed for classrooms and families. Use it to make sure you’ve covered the
basics of fire safety and start conversations with children and staff.

• Test smoke alarms once a month.

• Make sure fire extinguishers and fire sachets are easy to access.

• Show children the sound of the fire alarm and explain what it means.

• Plan and practice an escape route from your classroom or home.

• Teach children to stay low under smoke during a fire.

• Remind everyone: never use lifts during a fire.

• Practice ‘Stop, Drop, and Roll’ in case clothes catch fire.

• Keep exits, hallways, and doorways clear of clutter.

• Remind children never to play with matches or lighters.

• Ensure emergency numbers (999 in the UK) are known by staff and older pupils.

Use this checklist regularly to keep your classroom and home safe. Every order from Little Fire
Station helps fund UK schools with sports kits, uniforms, and safety resources. Together, we can
protect families and empower schools.
