Message to Parents
Protect your toddler or
infant.
New parents or others who care for babies and small children need to pay special attention to fire safety. Children under age 5 are twice as likely to die in a fire than the rest of us. In fact, toddlers age 3 to 4 actually cause a large number of home fires by playing with lighters and matches. And when fire breaks out, babies and toddlers can’t escape without your help. Help keep children in your care safe.
PREPARE — make your home safer by storing matches, lighters, and other firestarters away from children; maintaining working smoke alarms; and developing a home fire escape plan.
PRACTICE fire safety — especially your home fire escape plan!
PREVENT THE UNTHINKABLE.
Love alone won’t save them. Practicing fire safety will.
