Fire Safety Education
Forks
On December 7, 1998, Joshua Sizemore, a
fourth grader at Blue Creek School,
(Billings area) was babysitting his three
year old sister in their family home. At
approximately 4 p.m., Joshua heard a noise
coming from the bedroom area of the
home. Upon investigating the source of the
noise, he saw smoke coming from under
his sister's bedroom door and heard the
sound of breaking glass.
Realizing the bedroom was on fire, Joshua
grabbed his sister and a cordless phone and
got out of the house. Once outside, Joshua
tried to call for help but the phone was not
working. He then took his sister with him
and sought help at neighboring homes.
Joshua had the foresight to get his sister out
of the house and to attempt to call for help.
Even though she was only partially clothed,
Joshua did not waste time by dressing his
sister before leaving the home. He knew
that he and his sister should stay out of the
burning house once they left. When Joshua
had trouble finding a neighbor that was at
home, he continued going from house to
house until he found help.
Upon being asked how he knew what to do,
Joshua said he remembered what the
clowns said during a fire safety assembly.
The Billings Fire Department's fire safety
team had recently given a presentation at
Blue Creek School during Fire Prevention
Week.
Through the medium of clowning and
puppetry, they had taught the students
about home escape planning. The children
also learned that if their house starts on
fire, they need to get out, stay out and call
for help.
Joshua is a hero because he saved his little
sister from the burning home. He
remembered what he had been taught to do
in such a situation. The Billings Fire
Department's clowning and puppetry team
members are also heroes because they were
instrumental in saving the life of this little
girl by teaching children what to do in the
event of a fire. Through clown
characterization and puppetry, the fire
fighters were able to more effectively reach
these children with a life-saving message.
It was reported that Blue Creek VFD
assisted with a mutual aid response from
Lockwood FD made good stop on the fire.
Most of the damage was contained, to the
one bedroom and part of the. hallway. The
home did suffer major smoke damage
throughout.
Those of us in the fire service understand
the importance of fire safety education.
We understand that many lives are saved
each year because of teaching children
about fire safety. It is difficult to
accurately determine just how many lives
are saved because of fire fighters reaching
out to children with safety messages. This
incident involving Joshua and his little
sister, however, is what we call a
documented save. Two young lives that
were endangered by fire were saved
because one of the youngsters knew what to
do in a real -life fire situation.
The Billings Fire Department's fire safety
team deserves special recognition for their
enthusiastic dedication to fire safety
education. The Team members are: Tim
McLeod, Ed Thompson, John Ruddock, Ed
Regele and Ralph Freeman.
