Teach children to touch doors before opening them. If the door is hot, use a different exit. Teach children never to go back into a burning building. Take children to your local fire station for a tour. Children will be able to see a firefighter in full firefighting gear and learn that he or she is someone who puts out fires and saves children.
Fires can frighten even the most prepared.
But by thoroughly learning and practicing basic fire safety, a family will have a better chance at staying alive and safe. Local coalitions and chapters are located in Wichita, Lawrence, Salina, Barber County, Topeka, Ford County, Manhattan, Pottawatomie County, and Clay County. Kansas SAFE KIDS is part of the National SAFE KIDS Campaign.
