You can prevent fires!

• DO NOT put anything over lights, like clothes or blankets, even when playing.
• DO NOT stick anything in electrical sockets.
• DO NOT play with matches, lighters, or candles.
• DO NOT cook alone.

• DO tell an adult if you see matches or lighters laying around.
• DO turn off lights, TVs, and video games when you are done with them.
• DO ask an adult to help you cook.

In case of a fire, have an escape plan!

1. Try to find two ways out from every room in your home. The first way out should be a door. Every way needs to be planned and practiced with grown-ups.
2. Before opening any door in a fire, feel the door first at the bottom and then work your hand up the door to see if it is hot. A hot door means there may be fire on the other side. Try to get out another way.
3. Stay low to the floor when escaping a fire.
4. If you have security bars in your home, make sure you know how to open them in case you need to escape from fire.
5. Pick a safe and easy-to-remember place outside the home to meet your family after you get out.
6. After you get out, call 911 or the fire department.
7. Stay outside no matter what. Don't go back for anything!
