Fire Safety & Activities for Kids

Safety is a job for everyone in the family, not just the adults.  The enthusiasm that children bring to fire prevention efforts, emergency preparedness and health often spur adults to take action.  From reminders to check smoke alarms to knowing where a fire extinguisher is located, kids can help to ensure their families are ready.
