FDNY’S FIRE SAFETY REVIEW

Fire is dangerous. Never play with matches, lighters, or candles.

Also, stay away from extension cords and electrical outlets. They can cause home fires if they overheat or are overloaded.

Remind your parents to test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms every month and to put in new batteries twice a year when the clocks change.

STOP, DROP and ROLL.If your clothes catch fire, remember to cover your face with your hands, drop to the ground, and roll back and forthto put the fire out.

Do NOT fight the fire yourself.

Stay low and go and close the door behind you.

Call 9-1-1 from a safe location.

Know and practice your fire escape plan.

Firefighters and EMTs can help if there is a fire or if you are hurt and need care. Call 9-1-1 right away.

Don’t Hide. Get Outside.

Do not play in the kitchen. If you want to cook something, ask an adult to help you.
