Tips Winter Tips Fire is an important part of our lives. We use it to cook food and we use it as a source of warmth on a cold night.
Unwelcome fires can erupt from a cooking pot left on the stove.
Ask your family if they will help you come up with an escape plan to get everyone out of the house in case of a fire or other emergency. If you see a fire breaking out, quickly tell an adult and leave right away. While trying to exit the house during a fire, always touch doors with the back of your hand to see if they are hot before you open them. If the door is cool, open it slowly and check to see whether it s safe and clear. If your clothes are on fire, drop to the ground and roll until the flames go out.
