You can cook a burger or burn the house down. Teach them about fire. We learned about fire, matches, first aide, and cooking. We learned that fire wasn't bad, only dangerous if misused. In short, we learned the other half of the story.
Fire is a simple phenomenon.
It requires three things to 'happen'. Oxygen, a fuel source, and a heat source. I can't tell you how many people came to learn how to backpack who didn't even know how to light a match. Well, matches aren't so bad, my friends, only in the hands of the ignorant, unwary, or malicious can they hurt you. Knowledge is power so get ready to learn.
