Jane wakes D.W. up in time for school. D.W. finishes her breakfast quickly and wants to go immediately and gets word that there's plenty of time to wait. Arthur tells the viewers that D.W. loves school, from going down the slide to singing "[[Old MacDonald Had a Farm]]" to eating pumpkin muffins. He thinks that D.W. finds it her favorite thing in the whole world. Arthur also said that D.W. thought that school wasn't as good as she expected. When D.W. goes back home, she complains to herself about not wanting to go to school anymore. | Jane wakes D.W. up in time for school.

D.W., [[Emily]], the [[Timmy and Tommy Tibble|Tibbles]], and the rest of D.W.'s preschool class are playing with toys, messing about, etc. when a teacher pops in and talks to their teacher, Mrs. Morgan, for a minute. When he leaves, Mrs. Morgan tells everyone that during this week, they'll be learning about fire safety and sometime soon, they're going to have a fire drill. | D.W., [[Emily]], the [[Timmy and Tommy Tibble|Tibbles]], and the rest of D.W.'s preschool class are playing with toys, messing about, etc. when a teacher pops in and talks to their teacher, Mrs. Morgan, for a minute.

However, D.W. finds out soon that that's not what a fire drill is. Instead, D.W and her class find out that a fire drill is a plan that they use to get out of the building if there’s a fire. The preschool class practices lining up for the impending drill, goes out and practices "stopping, dropping, and rolling" (a technique that the Tibbles tell D.W. that this is what she should do if her clothes caught fire). The Tibbles, thinking real fire will actually be involved, relish the thought of having a fire drill with a great deal of sadistic glee... except D.W. | However, D.W. finds out soon that that's not what a fire drill is.

She doesn't want to be in the school if it's going to catch fire, and so D.W., who usually loves going to school, decides that she'll have no part of this. | |||
That night, D.W. wakes up, and looks up at the smoke detector in her room. She then tests it by poking it with a broom, so that it starts going off. Then she goes around the rest of the house, setting off the others. [[Jane Read|Mom]] and [[David Read|Dad]] rush downstairs, half asleep, (since it's the middle of the night) and tell D.W. that smoke detectors aren't toys, and she shouldn't be messing with them unreasonably. | That night, D.W. wakes up, and looks up at the smoke detector in her room.

The next day, on the way to school, D.W. is a bit nervous, being sure the fire drill will be that day, though Mom reassures her, saying it'll be like the fire drills they did at home. D.W. just answers with a "Yeah, I know." | The next day, on the way to school, D.W. is a bit nervous, being sure the fire drill will be that day, though Mom reassures her, saying it'll be like the fire drills they did at home.

All goes smoothly at the school, until they hear the fire alarm going off --''' The Fire Drill!''' | |||
D.W. acts pretty calmly, probably due to all of her additional fire drill duties. She correctly tells Emily to not pick up a load of blocks, but to leave everything behind, as the class leaves the classroom under the guidance of the teacher. The Tibbles overreact, acting as if there really is a fire, and some of the other kids are a bit concerned (Emily says that the crayons will melt. James says that he has to go to the bathroom. Sarah says that her shoelaces are done.) | D.W. acts pretty calmly, probably due to all of her additional fire drill duties.
