--WARNING--
WARNING! This final section covers some pretty heavy stuff - medical needs, health crises, and police and firefighter involvement. While the emergencies you learn about will hopefully never happen, it is good to be prepared. The worst time to learn about these things is when you need them most!While this is all designed for elementary and middle school students in mind, if it makes you feel more comfortable, have your adult sit next to you for a while!

Bleeding
Sprains & Fractures
Burns
When you're home alone, you may have to handle an injury with basic First Aid. The best way to avoid this is PREVENTION. While minor things can be handled by yourself or with a phone call to an adult, some things require an immediate 911 call.

Internal Bleeding
Causes
back to first aid
First Aid & Emergencies
- Internal bleeding can be a small bruise or a very serious internal injury.
- A bruise is technically internal bleeding, with blood poolng just under the skin. Most bruises are not severe and will go away on their own.
- More severe internal bleeding is a result of blunt trauma from an object or falling.
- The affected area of internal bleeding may be swollen, tender, and maybe discolored.
13
- Apply cold packs
- Bandages help distract from the pain and may remind you to be careful around the area, but they provide no medical support
- If you think it is a severe injury, call 911 or your parent.

Sprains & Fractures

Skye is joined by Roderick, who is freaking out about being home alone, and Sunny, who is confident being home alone.
Um... a fire! Or you're being robbed!
Then you won't get in trouble. First Responders are here to help!
Or if you're feeling unsafe and want an officer to check on you!
I know the number for 911!
What if I call and they get here and nothing bad happened??? Like nothing at all?
But what if. My house is on fire. And there is someone robbing us. And there's a tornado. And the toilet flooded.
Yes! You can also call for a medical emergency.
Of course you do! But do you know WHEN to call it?
Well, did you think there was an emergency when you called?
Let's be realistic...the chances of a distaster happening are very slim, but its always good to be prepared!

If you're mature enough to stay home alone, you're mature enough to handle some situations, like a stubbed toe or a homework problem. 911 should be reserved for true emergencies and when help is needed quickly!

Police
Here are some quick facts about police officers you may not know...
And here are a few reminders...
Next
- Police officers are often the first on a scene, regardless of the emergency, because they patrol the area and can respond the quickest
- Police officers know First Aid and CPR
- Police officers can stop by to do a well-check on people
Police do more than just get bad guys. They are here to PROTECT AND SERVE.
- If you call 911 because you are scared while home alone, or there is a creepy person in your neighborhood, or you just generally feel uncomfortable, that's OKAY. Police officers would much rather show up and it's nothing than not be called and it's something.

Fire
Here are some quick facts about firefighters you may not know...
- When arriving at a house, one firefighter does a lap around the house to see if anyone is near a window or needs help.
- Most firefighters are cross-trained as Emergency Medical Technicians, or EMTs.
And here are a few reminders...
Firefighters serve with honor & bravery, running into burning buildings while everyone else is running out!
Next
- The best plan in case of a fire is to GET OUT!
- Do NOT spend time searching for or go back into a burning house for your pets. They will either find their way out, or the firefighters can get them.
Firefighter Atesh, can you tell us some more?
16
Why, of course I can!
First Aid & Emergencies
Fire
So what causes fires?
Next
ALWAYS...
- sleep with your door closed
- know how to open windows
- check smoke detector batteries twice a year
- unplug devices that aren't in use
16
NEVER...
- put metal in the microwave
- put plastic in the oven or on the stove
- charge your phone on your bed
- burn a candle while home alone
Unfortunately, lots of household items.
But here are some things to remember to prevent fires!

GET OUT
+info
Many fires start in the kitchen and may be small enough to smother by putting a pan on top of it. However, the safest choice is to GET OUT of the house! Items are replaceable, humans are not.
+info
Talk with your family to decide on a safe place, away from the house, where you can meet after evacuating. Think about the mailbox, a tree, or a neighbor's house.
+info
If you have a phone, it's a good idea to keep in close in case of emergencies. If you don't have a phone, go to a trusted neighbor's house and let them know about the emergency.
GET SAFE
CALL 911

Like Officer Green said, it's important to have a FIRE ESCAPE PLAN for your house.

In the case of an emergency, a police officer will probably be the first person on the scene because they are driving around, patrolling.
Then, firefighters and paramedics, will arrive to help you.
