Fire Prevention Week (FPW)
may be over but, “Team Up for Fire Safety” is still going strong. I’m
having so much fun teaching kids simple ways to stay safe from fire, that I’m
going to celebrate all month. Why not do some FPW activities with your family
today? Check out the way cool FPW
Web site for more fun!
 Here’s
an idea!
This year daylight savings time is October 27,
which means, it’s time to set your clocks and watches back an hour. It’s
also a perfect time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms. Ask a grown-up
to help.
Find the answers to the following questions on the FPW
Web site. Check back in November to see if you got them right!
1.
How often should you and your family practice a home
fire escape plan?
2.
Where should smoke alarms be in your home?
3.
Fill in the blank: Set up a ______________ around the stove.
No kids or pets within three feet (one metre) of the stove when grown-ups are
cooking!
4. Where should grown-ups keep
matches and lighters?
5. When you make your escape
plan, how many ways out of each room should you have?
History falsely credits an animal with starting the Great Chicago
Fire. What kind of animal? (Need a hint? This animal has black spots like
me.) What was the year of the fire?
