"So, apparently," said Summer, from the front of danger shop classroom sim, "I missed a fire this weekend? Which means a lesson on fire safety might be a little bit 'too little, too late,' but it sounds like, while it wasn't exactly great, it wasn't that bad, and that having so many firefighters with nothing to do most of the time is a good thing, and the biggest casualty was some of those warehouses in the warehouse district, of which there are still a surprising amount of.

"But anyway," she said, "point is, there could be a time when dealing with something like that could be a lot worse, and, in that case, proper fire safety and what to do in those situations is a pretty big Life Skill to have, so we're going to go over some of the basics, good first aid, smart things to do, dumb things not to do, and, if you'd like, through the door, I've got a whole sim set-up that's going to blow those mobile trailers that local fire departments bring to various schools right out of the water. However, I know, especially fresh off an actual fire, that, even knowing it's a harmless sim, something like this can be a little intense for some people, so it is totally one-thousand percent optional. But if you'd like the experience of a high pressure situation, I recommend giving it a try, and, if not, we can just stay here and continue going over things on a more abstract level."

All the good old standards of fire safety are there, including how to escape a fire and treating injuries like burns and smoke inhalation, which, you know, was a pretty big one.

All with the caveat that Summer is not a professional in any of this stuff, but, hey, you don't need to be a professional for common sense or google!

Oh, look, Vi was wearing her judgemental face for the first time in a while, hadn't Summer missed seeing that?

Kurt was listening and taking a few notes. After all, he couldn't always rely on his porting ability. There could be a situation where he wouldn't be able to port in or out. Better safe than sorry right!?

The door to the classroom leads to not a hallway, as one might think, but a completely moddable fire emergency experience so you can put your newfound knowledge about fire safety into practice without, you know, the actual fire. If you want. Summer gets how that could be a big Hell No for some people, especially right now, so you're also welcome to just practice treating burns or familiarizing yourself with how fire extinguishers work and not just taking the batteries out of your smoke alarms when they start beeping just to get them to stop.

Working together, too, is, of course, encouraged.

Belle had no idea how fire extinguishers actually worked so her first step was going to be trying to use one in this controlled environment.

Just in case.

Seriously, she goes home for one weekend, and y'all have a fire on her.

Also make sure your fire extinguisher is rated for grease fires. Since my neighbor didn't know that and had seven trucks show up this weekend to put her kitchen out.

(Small fire. But like Fandom, the department was SUPER EXCITED for a real fire.)
