Fire Prevention Day, observed on October 9, teaches people how to stay safe from fires. It started because of a big fire in a city long ago. On this day, firefighters and teachers show kids and adults important tips like not playing with matches, checking smoke alarms, and having a plan to escape if there's a fire. Schools might have fire drills to practice what to do. The goal is to make sure everyone knows how to prevent fires and what to do if one happens. Fire Prevention Day helps us all stay safe in our homes and communities.
How to celebrate Fire Prevention Day?
Start by checking smoke alarms with a grown-up to make sure they work. Practice a fire escape plan at home, knowing two exits from every room. Draw a map of your house showing these exits. Visit a local fire station to learn from firefighters. Read a book or watch a video about fire safety together. Try a fun activity like creating a fire safety poster. Remind everyone in your family not to play with matches or lighters. End the day by talking about what you learned and sharing safety tips with friends. Stay safe and have fun learning!
