Be safe at school. Practice fire drills with your teacher. Listen for a loud bell. Then line up and leave the building. Meet in a safe place outside.

Be safe at home, too! Your home has a smoke detector. It
will warn you if there is a fire. Test the batteries to make sure they work.

Be careful with fire. Turn off the stove when you are done
cooking. Blow out candles. Keep matches away from young children.

What Do You Think? What can you do at school and home to be sure fires don’t happen?
