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.
Teach your children that matches and lighters are too dangerous to touch. Children should never pick up or handle matches or lighters they may find, instead, they should be taught to show parents where these items are. Remember to praise your children for following your instructions. A Good Example Children learn by watching and imitating adults. Set a good example.
