There are some things only adults can do to prevent and stop fires, such as using smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, but there are also many fire safety rules everyone should learn to help prevent fires and to know what to do if one does start. Here are some safety rules for kids.
★If a child notices that an electrical appliance is giving off a strange smell, they should ask an adult to turn it off, and, it should be fixed before it's used again.
★Children should have an adult with them if they cook food. They should never leave food by itself and make sure handles of pots and pans and pans on the stove are turned inward. They should also be aware that anything made of metal should never be put in a microwave.
★The family should work together to plan an escape route in case there's a fire, including finding at least two ways out of every room. Kids should practice this with their parents two to three times a year and learn to test doors with their hands before opening them.
★If your clothing catches fire, running will make the flames bigger. Kids should practice the proper technique of stopping where they are, dropping to the ground and rolling to put out the flames.
★Burns should be treated by an adult-the injured area should be put in cold water for 10-15 minutes to relieve the pain. Ice should never be used, as it can cause further injury. If a child has a serious burn that blisters, they should be taken to a doctor or the emergency room.
