Fire is a natural energy source which provides heat, light and energy. Fire is a tool that we use in our everyday lives to produce heat, cook food and heat our homes. Fire can be dangerous. It is a useful tool when used properly by adults. It is not a toy or plaything.
Fire can easily get out of control.
Only adults can safely use fire and must follow special fire safety rules. Create a safe home environment for your family. Keep all matches and lighters out of reach of young children. A two year old child can operate a lighter or strike a match. Fire can become a magnet to a child.
