1. Fire is not for children
- Keep all fire-starting material out of the reach of children, and tell them NEVER to play with matches, lighters or flammable materials.
- If you smoke, have only one lighter or matchbook, and keep it with you at all times.
2. Stop, drop and roll!
Teach children what to do if their clothes catch on fire. Have them pretend and take the following steps:
- Stop — Get them to stop moving and NEVER run if they have fire on them.
- Drop — Get them to drop to the floor as quickly as possible.
- Roll — Have them cover their face with their hands, then roll over and over until the flames are out.
3. Smoke can be as dangerous as fire
- Tell children that smoke can be very harmful, and in the case of a fire, the smoke can put them to sleep and keep them from escaping.
- Smoke rises, so cleaner, cooler air is near the floor. Have children pretend the room is full of smoke and get down on their hands and knees and crawl low under the smoke to the nearest exit.
