If you have a casual approach to fire safety, so will your children. Parents are the most influential people in a child's life. Teaching fire safety to your child is very important to the safety of not only your child, but your entire family. Fire is a tool we use to heat our homes or cook our food. It is not a toy.
Fire is dangerous, it can kill.
All fires, even small ones, can spread quickly. Even adults must follow special safety rules for fire. Have older children, under close supervision, practice safe use of fire such as lighting candles, or lighting a fireplace. Install and maintain smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Plan and practice home fire escape drill.
