Curious Kids Set Fires: A Factsheet for Teaching Children Fire Safety
Each year about 300 people are killed and $272 million in property is destroyed in fires attributed to children playing with fire. Teach children at an early age about the dangers of fireplay in an effort to prevent child injuries, fire deaths and firesetting behavior in the future.
The U.S. Fire Administration's A Fire Safety Campaign for Babies and Toddlers is a public awareness and education campaign designed to draw attention to the increased risk of fire death for young children, and to teach parents and caregivers how they can avoid the tragedy. A child under the age of five is twice as likely to die in a residential fire than the rest of the population. The campaign's slogan: "Prepare. Practice. Prevent the Unthinkable." urges parents and caregivers to prepare by installing and maintaining working smoke alarms; safely storing lighters and matches out of children's reach and sight; and practicing a fire escape plan with small children, which should include helping toddlers understand how to quickly respond in case of fire, and planning how adults can escape with babies.
This activity book provides children with valuable learning tools about fire safety and prevention. Activities include coloring pages, connect the dots, word searches, and escape plan mazes. This Handout/Pamphlet is available for order from the USFA Publications Center.
This teachers' activity book and the accompanying cassette of songs and stories helps educators reach preschoolers with simple, memorable fire safety messages. The kit also includes for each classroom one reproducible coloring book and one wall poster.
