Dozens of third-graders spent Tuesday morning learning how to safely get out of a home. The EDITH house (Exit Drills in the Home), was brought to Robinson Elementary School.
The mobile house is designed to simulate a home filling up with smoke and alarms going off. Kids split up into two groups. Pasco firefighter Ben Shearer taught one group about crouching down below the smoke if a fire starts.
"Stay calm and get down on your legs and also check the door if it's warm with the back of your hand," said one third-grade student.
In another part of the home, students escaped out of a window once they realized the smoke was coming into the room and the door was hot.
"What I just did, we just discovered fire safety, and we did some drills and stuff, and it was really fun," another student said.
