The Fire Alarm (Childrens Fire Safety Story)- Full Story – Featuring Serendipity Sam
One sunny morning Jeremy the giraffe was walking through the house doing his monthly check of the smoke alarms, when all of a sudden…
“Somebody has taken the battery out of this smoke alarm!” shouted Jeremy.
He ran through to the kitchen where Bella was washing up breakfast.
“Have you seen the battery from the smoke alarm, Bella? asked Jeremy.”
“No, I haven’t Jeremy” replied Bella.
So Jeremy went through into the lounge where Kitty was watching television.
“Have you seen the battery from the smoke alarm, Kitty?” asked Jeremy.
“No Jeremy, I haven’t” said Kitty
With that Jeremy ran out into the garden where Sam was playing football. “Have you seen the battery from the smoke alarm, Sam?” asked Jeremy.
“No I haven’t Jeremy” said Sam.
With that Jeremy ran out into the garden where Sam was playing football. “Have you seen the battery from the smoke alarm, Sam?” asked Jeremy.
“No I haven’t Jeremy” said Sam.
No sooner had Sam said that, when they both heard a loud noise coming from the play room. They both ran in to find Lemmy the Lemur playing with his new radio controlled car.
“Lemmy, have you taken the battery out of the smoke alarm?” asked Sam
“I’m sorry guys, I didn’t think that it would matter if I just borrowed it for a little while” said Lemmy.
“Oh Lemmy” said Jeremy “You must never take the battery out of the smoke alarm or it won’t work! If we had a fire we could all get hurt” explained Jeremy.

Lemmy realised how silly he’d been and promised that he would never do it again as it was very dangerous.
The battery was replaced in the smoke alarm and Jeremy took Lemmy to the shop to buy a battery for his new toy car.

Full Story: Bonfire Night featuring Serendipity Sam and his friends
Here is the full story, as published during this week.

“Remember, remember the 5th of November” sang Lemmy. Sam and the gang were having a bonfire party with real fireworks and Lemmy was excited because he had never been to a bonfire party before.
As usual Jeremy the giraffe was in charge and he had a list of jobs to do. “We have to make sure that we follow the Firework Code” he announced to everyone
“What’s a Firework Code?” asked Lemmy.
“It’s a check list that tells us how to look after the fireworks and bonfire to make sure that no-one gets hurt”
“Can I buy the fireworks?” asked Sam.
“You can come with me and help choose them, but children are not allowed to buy fireworks” explained Jeremy.
In the shop they chose curvy Catherine wheels, sizzling sparklers, fizzy fountains, radiant roman candles and red rockets.
Meanwhile back at the house, Bella Kitty & Lemmy were making a guy.
Bella had found some old clothes and Kitty had tied the ends of the shirt and trousers so that Lemmy could stuff them with paper and straw.
“It looks like a scarecrow” said Kitty.
“What about the face?” asked Lemmy
“We need a mask for him” said Bella
“I’ll make one” said Kitty
Jeremy and a very excited Sam came back from the shops. 
“Look everyone!” shouted Sam as he took a big red rocket out of the box
“STOP RIGHT THERE!” exclaimed Bella. “Fireworks are dangerous. Children should NEVER touch them!”
“That’s right,” said Jeremy, ‘Well done Bella for reminding us”
Jeremy put the fireworks on the shelf and went to set a rope around the bonfire. Later he moved the fireworks into a tin box with a lid on so they would be safe outside.
Kitty had finished the mask and Lemmy and Sam helped carry the Guy to the bonfire
Jeremy placed the Guy on the top of the bonfire and was just about to light it when Bella shouted “STOP RIGHT THERE!”.
“What’s the matter?” asked Jeremy.
“You have to check the bonfire first to make sure a hedgehog hasn’t crawled underneath” explained Bella
“Well done Bella, you’re right again” said Jeremy
Jeremy used a stick to check underneath the bonfire and then he very carefully lit it.
Everyone stood behind the rope and watched the Guy burn. Jeremy then lit the fireworks making sure he closed the lid of the tin tightly after each one was taken out.
“Ooh,” said Lemmy “Look at the beautiful colours”
“You can have a sparkler” said Kitty to Sam, who then held out his hand.
“STOP RIGHT THERE!,” exclaimed Bella “You haven’t got a glove on”
“Well Done Bella,” said Jeremy “You must always wear gloves if you are going to hold a sparkler, and remember not to wave it too near anyone”
Every one had a good time at the bonfire party.
On the way home Jeremy asked Bella how she knew so much about safety.
“I read the Firework Code when you went to the shops with Sam” she explained
“Well done Bella, you helped to keep everyone safe” said Jeremy
