  1. OOh I love this one

    911 Rap

    I know a number that is really hot.
    It's only for people in a hot, hot spot.
    If you see a fire, If you see a crime,
    The number is the same every single time.
    This very special number is never for fun.
    This very special number is 911.

    ( Great for young Elementary school students to teach them when to dial 911 and of course, the number itself.)

  2. I'm a Firefighter

    (Little Teapot Tune)

    I'm a firefighter, my name is John.
    I put my boots and helmet on.
    I hurry to the fire and give a shout!
    With a burst of water,
    The fire is out!

  3. Five Little Firefighters

    Five little firefighters
    Sleeping in a row.
    RING goes the bell!
    Down the pole they go.
    They jump on the engine,
    And put out the fire.
    Now they're back at home -
    My, but they're tired!

  4. Just A Dispatcher

    I TAKE A BREATH AS I SIT DOWN,
    GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH TO MAKE THIS ROUND
    SO MANY LIVES, I HOLD IN HAND,
    SO MANY PEOPLE WITH DEMANDS.

    MY FIRST CALL, A CHILD IS SCREAMING,
    DADDY'S BEATING MOM AND SHE'S NOT BREATHING.
    IT'S HARD TO DEAL WITH AND STAY CALM,
    THE CHILD YELLS, "DAD'S GOT A GUN!"

    I HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL AND SAY,
    PLEASE SLOW DOWN THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY
    AS I DISPATCH TO MY DEPUTIES,
    "10-47, THERE ARE WEAPONS"

    TEN THOUSAND THINGS RUSH THROUGH MY HEAD,
    GOD I PRAY SHE'S NOT DEAD.
    STAY ON THE PHONE AND TALK TO ME,
    AS I RISE TO MY FEET.

    THE COPS ARE HERE THE CHILD IS SAYING,
    STAY ON THE LINE AS I START PRAYING.
    "BE ADVISED HE HAS A GUN,
    AND HE ALSO HAS HIS SON."

    NOW I HAVE AN OPEN LINE,
    JUST A DISPATCHER IN THE BLIND
    "DISPATCH," I HEARD HIM SAY,
    "HIS NAME IS TEDDY AND HE'S OKAY."

    THEY CLEAR THE SCENE FROM THE CALL,
    NOT ONE DEPUTY HAD TO FALL.
    I TAKE A BREATH AS I SIT DOWN,
    THANK YOU GOD, WE MADE THAT ROUND.

    I'M JUST A DISPATCHER, CAN'T YOU SEE
    JUST A LIFELINE BETWEEN YOU AND ME.

  5. Smoke Chant

    If you don’t want to choke
    Crawl under the smoke.
    Get down on the floor
    And head for the door.

    (act out with a blanket or towel as the smoke, crawl under the blanket)

  6. Fire Drill

    Did you ever have a fire drill?
    We had one today.
    Our teacher told us what to do
    So we would be OK.

    There really was no fire at all.
    It only was a drill.
    We walked out to the schoolyard.
    And stood there very still.

    We could not talk or run or play
    Until the drill was through.
    Now, if there really is a fire,
    We know just what to do.

  7. The Apple Tree

    Way up high in the apple tree,
    Four little apples hung over me.
    I shook the tree as hard as I could.
    Down came the apples and mmmmm!
    Were they good!

    Way up high in the apple tree,
    Three little apples hung over me.
    I shook the tree as hard as I could.
    Down came the apples and mmmmm!
    Were they good!

    Way up high in the apple tree,
    Two little apples hung over me.
    I shook the tree as hard as I could.
    Down came the apples and mmmmm!
    Were they good!

    Way up high in the apple tree,
    One little apple hung over me.
    I shook the tree as hard as I could.
    Down came the apple and mmmmm!
    Was it good!

  9. Fire Can Be Helpful

    Fire can be helpful
    When handled with care.
    But fire and children
    Do not make a pair!
    So don't play with matches
    Or anything hot.
    Adults may use fire,
    But children should not!

  10. "The golden-rod is yellow;
    The corn is turning brown;
    The trees in apple orchards
    With fruit are bending down.

    The gentian's bluest fringes
    Are curling in the sun;
    In dusty pods the milkweed
    Its hidden silk has spun.

    The sedges flaunt their harvest,
    In every meadow nook;
    And asters by the brook-side
    Make asters in the brook,

    From dewy lanes at morning
    The grapes' sweet odors rise;
    At noon the roads all flutter
    With yellow butterflies.

    By all these lovely tokens
    September days are here,
    With summer's best of weather,
    And autumn's best of cheer.

    But none of all this beauty
    Which floods the earth and air
    Is unto me the secret
    Which makes September fair.

    T'is a thing which I remember;
    To name it thrills me yet:
    One day of one September
    I never can forget."
    - Helen Hunt Jackson, September

  11. Fire Safety Song
    (from the Nuttin' But Kids Website)

    Sing with a dog puppet, to the tune of
    Popeye the Sailor Man

    I'm Fire Safety Sam. (ruff, ruff)
    I'm Fire Safety Sam. (ruff, ruff)

    Please test smoke detectors
    'Cause they're home protectors.

    I'm Fire Safety Sam. (ruff, ruff)
    Substitute lines 3 and 4 with the following words for new verses...

    It's important to say ...
    With matches, don't play.

    If there's smoke you should know,
    you'd better crawl low.

    Have a fire escape plan.
    Every family can.

    If there's a fire, get out.
    Use your escape route.

    Go to a neighbor's when alone,
    Then call 9-1-1 on the phone.

    Clothes on fire? Here's your goal:
    First stop, then drop, and roll!

  12. Four Busy Firefighters
    Original Author unknown

    Four busy firefighters could not retire
    Because they might have to put out a fire.
    The first one rang a big brass bell.
    The second one said, 'It's the Grand Hotel!'
    The third one said, 'Down the pole we'll slide.'
    The fourth one said, 'Get ready to ride.'
    The siren said, 'Get out of the way!'
    'We have to put out a fire today!'
    The red fire truck sped on to the fire,
    As the big yellow flames grew higher and higher.
    Swish went the water from the fire-hose spout
    And in no time at all the fire was out.
    Went back to bed again.

    STOP, DROP, AND ROLL
    author unknown

    Sung to: "Hot Cross Buns"

    Stop, drop, and roll.
    Stop, drop, and roll.
    If you clothes ever catch on fire,
    Stop, drop, and toll.

    The Wheels on the Firetruck
    (Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)
    The wheels on the firetruck go fast, fast, fast.
    Fast, fast, fast! Fast, fast, fast!
    The wheels on the firetruck go fast, fast, fast.
    When there’s a fire.

    The siren on the firetruck goes woo, woo, woo.
    When there’s a fire.

    The hose on the firetruck goes squirt, squirt, squirt.
    When there’s a fire.

    The ladder on the firetruck goes up and down.
    When there’s a fire.

    The firefighters help to put the fire out.
    Thank you, firefighters!

  18. Down at the Firehouse
    by Jean Warren
    (tune: Down by the Station)

    Down at the firehouse
    Early in the morning,
    You can see our clothes
    Hanging in a row.
    When there is a fire,
    We can dress real fast.
    Boots, jackets, hats, gloves,
    Off we go!

  19. Ten Brave Firefighters

    Ten brave firefighters
    Standing in a row.
    Ding, Ding rings the bell
    Down the pole they go.
    Jump on the fire truck
    Ready to aim the hose
    Climb up the ladder
    Whoosh! Out the fire goes

  20. I found this in trying to find a poem, it is a type of poetry.

    Fireman’s Creed

    When I'm called to duty God
    wherever flames may rage
    give me strength to save a life
    whatever be its age

    Help me to embrace a little child
    before it is too late
    or save an older person from
    the horror of that fate

    Enable me to be alert
    to hear the weakest shout
    and quickly and efficiently
    to put the fire out

    I want to fill my calling and
    to give the best in me
    to guard my neighbor and
    protect his property

    And if according to your will
    I have to lose my life
    bless with your protecting hand
    my children and my wife

    Ten brave firefighters sleeping in a row.
    (Fingers curled to make sleeping men)
    Ding, dong, goes the bell
    (Pull down on the bell cord)
    And down the pole they go.
    (With fists together make hands slide down the pole)
    Off on the engine, oh, oh, oh!
    (Pretend you are steering the fire engine very fast)
    Using the big hose, so, so, so.
    (Make a nozzle with fist to use hose)
    When all the fire's out, home so slow.
    Back to bed, all in a row.
    (Curl all fingers again for sleeping men)

    (fingerplay)

    I'm a firfighter.
    (point to self)
    Here's my hose
    (outstretch arm with finger pointed)
    I put out fires
    As everyone knows.
    When I see a fire
    (hand over brow)
    I douse it out.
    (outstretch arm with finger pointed)
    "Thank you! Thank you!"
    People shout!

  24. 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 )
    WHOOO--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.)
