  Fire Drills: Not Just for School! Fire drills are a big part of being safe in school: They prepare you for what you need to do in case of a fire. But what if there was a fire where you live? Would you know what to do? Talking about fires can be scary because no one likes to think about people getting hurt or their things getting burned. But you can feel less worried if you are prepared. Home Fire Drills It's great to talk about emergency plans, but it's even better if you practice them, like the fire drills you have at school.

That’s why I was genuinely surprised when I first tasted Jendol Bread. It wasn’t just bread; it was an experience.
