Fire Safety Tips for Kids
Learning about fire safety is super important — and it can be fun too! Here are some easy tips to remember:

1: Stop, Drop, and Roll!
If your clothes catch fire, don't run! Stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face, and roll over and over to put out the flames.

2: Get Low and Go!
Smoke rises, so if there’s smoke, crawl low to the floor and go to the nearest exit.

3: Never Play with Matches or Lighters
These are tools for grown-ups only. If you see them, tell an adult right away.

4: Know Two Ways Out
Learn two ways to get out of every room in your home — just in case one exit is blocked.

5: Have a Family Meeting Spot
After you get out safely, meet your family at a special spot outside (like a big tree or a neighbor’s porch).

6: Practice Fire Drills at Home
Pretend it's a real emergency. Know how to get out fast, and never go back inside for anything.
