Fire Safety Tips for Kids

Fire can be helpful as in warming at a camp site or to cook food. It also can be dangerous. Kids needs to know what fire is and what it can do.

For years the National Fire Safety Council has been teaching children to “ Stop, Drop, Cover and Roll.” Fire District 12 uses this program to teach children in our community about fire prevention and safety during school and daycare visits.

Take a look at these educational and fun websites to help you teach your kids fire safety. It’s never too early to learn!
