A fun play about fire safety at home and outdoors

with Jessica Blaxland Ashby, Jeremy Page, Anthony Hunt
Directed by Margie McCrae
Music composed by Catherine Martin
Arranged by Sarah de Jong

Two city kids, Tim and Amy, move into a bushland setting in the Blue Mountains and meet the local volunteer fire-fighting brigade. Fireman Fred Truck, his helpers Hose and Flame, and local animals Smokey the Koala and Stanley the Snake introduce the audience to many aspects of fire safety as well as what to do when fire does break out. Tim, Smokey and Stanley soon discover what its like to be caught in a bushfire. With the assistance of the audience and a few simple 'firies' rules they avert a disastrous situation and make their way to safety.

The NSW Rural Fire Service
Fire safety and fire awareness amongst children is a primary focus of the education programs of the NSW Rural Fire Service. Children, particularly aged between 4 and 10 years old, figure highly in fire incidents and account for 73% of all burn and scald injuries. Similarly, children involved with 'fire play' are a major contributing factor in starting fires in houses and in grass and bushland areas.
