Fire Safety with Freddie: KS1 Assembly Pack & Script (Emergency Preparedness)

“Become a Fire Hero! Join Freddie the Firefighter on a life-saving mission that every child needs to complete.”

Teaching fire safety to younger children requires a delicate balance: it needs to be serious enough to save lives, but gentle enough not to cause fear. Fire Safety with Freddie is a complete, “plug-and-play” assembly resource designed for Key Stage 1 (Years 1–2). Using the friendly character of Freddie, this assembly empowers pupils with the knowledge and confidence to act correctly in an emergency.

What’s Included in This No-Prep Pack?

Interactive PowerPoint Presentation: 20 vibrant, child-friendly slides featuring “Freddie the Firefighter.” It covers everything from smoke alarms to the “Get Out, Stay Out” rule.

Full Professional Presenter Script: A slide-by-slide guide with timed cues, " Presenter Tips," and " Interactive Actions." We’ve scripted the “Stop, Drop, and Roll” practice and the “999” call demo so you can deliver a polished assembly with zero prep time.

The “Fire Hero” Mission: Re-frames fire safety as a mission, turning passive listeners into active “Fire Heroes” who take their knowledge home to their families.

Follow-Up Classroom Activities: 4 creative tasks to extend the learning, including drawing home escape plans and designing “Fire Hero” posters.

Optional Reflection & Prayer: A calm, inclusive closing moment to thank our emergency workers, suitable for both community and faith schools.
