Hi, we're Bushy and Blazer. It's our job to teach kids all over Queensland about fire safety and how you can help keep your family and friends safe.

Play School invite some very special guests from the emergency services to share safety messaging for young children. Watch the episodes on the ABC Kids app or through the ABC iView website. Click here to find out more.
