CHILDREN

Don’t play with fire (matches, lighters, cigarettes, etc.)

If you find matches, lighters, cigarettes, etc. on the ground leave them and go get an adult to pick them up

If you’re in a room and it catches on fire DON’T RUN…..CRAWL out of the room
911 can be used for the Police, Ambulance, and Fire Department, but only for emergencies

Once outside and at your meeting place then go to a neighbor’s house and call 911

 

 

If your clothes catch on fire “STOP…..DROP…..ROLL” cover your face with your hands as you roll “DO NOT RUN

 

 

 

Ask your parents to help you plan 2 ways out of every room and then practice them

When there is a house fire and you get out, go to a MEETING PLACE (mailbox, a building or anywhere away from the fire)

DO NOT go back inside (parents this goes for you too)

 

Ask your parents to check the SMOKE DETECTORS every month and change the battery 2 times a year (when they reset their clocks)
