Three strong policemen dressed  all in blue,
One stopped a speeding car, and then there were two.

If you have a problem,
Call on me,
and I will be there

If You Get Lost

If you get lost someplace in town,
Don't talk to a stranger.  (shake head)

And where your home is too. (nod head)

Or bring your mom and dad to you.

Here is my helmet, here is my hose.
When I see a fire hear me shout
Turn on the water and put the fire out.


The Firefighter

This firefighter rings the bell (thumb)
This firefighter hold the hose so well. (index)
This firefighter slides down the pole (middle)
This firefighter chops a hole (ring)
This firefighter climbs higher and higher (pinky)
And all the firefighters put out the fire!


Firefighter

Five brave firefighters
Sleeping so, (hold up a hand with fingers flat across palm)
The fire bell rings,
Down the pole they go.  (open the hand and make a downward motion)

Jump in the fire truck
Hurry down the street
Climb up the ladder  (make fingers climb)
Feel the fire's heat. (wipe sweat from your brow)

Five brave firefighters (hold up 5 fingers)
Put the fire out (make a wiping motion)
Hip! Hip! Hooray!
All the people shout! (shout)

The firemen fight the fire
Up the ladder with their hose
Out goes the fire.

(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

The firemen are brave,
The firemen are brave,
Heigh-ho what do you know,
The firemen are brave.


Fire Safety
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 fire
If you do, if you do
You might burn your house down
you might burn your house down.
That won't do, that won't do.

Never, never play with fire
If you do, if you do,
You might burn the forest
You might burn the forest
That won't do, that won't do.



Fireman Number 8

Fireman, fireman number eight (two circles on top of each other with hands)
Bumped his head upon the gate (Touch head and slap hands palms together)
The gate swung in (swing prayer hands one way)
The gate swung out (swing hands other way)
That's the way they put the fire out (swing hands back and forth both ways)
Emergency, emergency 9-1-1 (marching, say this 3 times getting faster and faster)


Fire Safety Song

What do you dial if there's a fire,
What do you dial if there is a fire,
What do you dial if there's a fire,
Dial 9-1-1.

What do you do to plan for fire,
What do you do to plan for fire,
What do you do to plan for a fire,
Have a fire drill.

What do you do if you're on fire,
What do you do if you're on fire,
What do you do if you're on fire,
Stop, drop, and roll.

Who comes in a truck if there's a fire,
Comes in a truck if there's a fire,
Comes in a truck if there's a fire.
It's the fireman!


Five Little Firefighters

Five little firefighters sit very still (hold up five fingers)
Until they saw a fire on top of a hill
Number one rings the bell, ding dong. (Bend down thumb)
Number two pulls his big boots on. (Bend down pointer finger)
Number three climbs on the truck right away. (Bend down middle finger)
Number four joins him -- no one can wait.  (Bend down ring finger)
Number five drives the truck to the fire.  (Bend down little finger)
The big yellow flames go higher and higher. (Spread arms)
WHOO--OO!  Whooo--oo!  Hear the fire truck say  (Imitate siren)
As all the cars get out of the way
Shhhh! goes the water from the fire hose spout. (Rub palms together)
And quicker than a wink the fire is out!  (Clap hands)
