Dear Parents and Educators:

Parents and educators play a vital role in teaching children fire safety and reducing the risk of child-set fires.

This activity book provides children ages 5 through 9 with valuable learning tools about fire safety and prevention. To reinforce the lessons in the book, we encourage you to lead a discussion about fire safety and prevention for children using the following information and fire safety tips:

Fire Prevention

• Help your parents place smoke alarms on every 

	 floor of your home.

• Never play with matches, lighters, or candles.

•	 Be very careful around fireplaces, heaters, and electrical appliances.

•	 If you find matches or lighters, tell a grownup.

• Always ask an adult to help you cook.

• Know two ways out of every room.

• Help to plan and practice a family escape plan.

• Post emergency numbers near the phone.

Hi, I’m Jett!

Hi, I’m Marty!

Welcome to the USFA’s Activity Book where fire safety and FUN start. 

In Case of Fire

• Don’t hide in closets or under the bed.

• Stay low and go -- even if that means crawling out.

•	 Don’t be afraid of firefighters.

• Once you’re outside, don’t go back in.

• Meet your family in the place where you planned.

Important Things to Remember

Fires can be loud, burn very fast, and smoke can make a room very dark.

That’s why good escape plans help you get out quickly.

Here’s how to help your family with an escape plan.

1. Try to find at least two ways out from every room in your home.

2. Every way needs to be planned and practiced with grownups.

3. Remember to stay low and go.

4. Before opening a door in a fire, feel it first. If it’s hot, there may be

fire on the other side. Do not open the door. Try to get out another way.

5. Pick an easy-to-remember, safe place outside to meet your family

after you get out.

6. Call 9-1-1 or the emergency number from a neighbor’s place.

7. Stay outside no matter what. Don’t go back in for anything!
