Fire Safety Tip
TEACH YOUR PRESCHOOL CHILD TO SAVE THEMSELVES FROM FIRE!: A child of three can learn to stop, drop, and roll if clothing ignites--or to crawl to safety when there's smoke. Make fire safety a fun activity--teach your child in frequent, short sessions with plenty of enthusiasm. When fire strikes, your child will be able to look out for himself or herself and save the most precious life of all.
