practice

• what to do if our clothes are on fire

• how we can keep a fire from starting

• how we can keep ourselves and our families safe
  if there is a fire

Smoke Alarms
Make sure your parents have one on every level of
your house, in the kitchen, and near every
bedroom.
Ask your parents to change the battery in every
smoke alarm each year on your birthday.

Escape Plan

• Decide different ways to get out of your house.

• Have your parents buy and attach rope ladders to
  any rooms that are off the ground in your house.

• Practice your escape plans.

Stay Safe
Crawl on the floor if you are in a fire. Smoke
goes up and you do not want to breathe in the
smoke. Clean air stays near the ground.
13
Stay Safe
Before you leave a room in a building that is on
fire touch the door with the back of your hand.
If it is warm, DO NOT open it! There is fire on
the other side of the door. You touch it with the
back of your hand because that side is tougher
than the front of your hand.
14
Be Safe
Know where your fire extinguishers are in case
there is a fire and your parents are not home.
This way you could show the babysitter or another
adult who is with you.
15
Firefighters
Firefighters sometimes look scary in their suits.
If they come to help you in a fire, do not be
afraid.
