Keep away from fire and heat.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your support has meant more to me than I can ever express. Thank you for always being there for me.


Your home is a place of family, friends and warmth. Even though home is a safe place, it is important to understand that there are some things in your home that can sometimes hurt you if you aren't careful. Fire and heat can burn or scald you badly if you don't take care. Take a moment to learn some very simple things to make your home safer.

Do not play with matches or lighters. These are not toys. They are for creating a flame to light a fire and you can easily hurt yourself. Take them to your parents if you find them.


Never put anything on a lamp or near burning candles. The lamp can overheat and anything put near a candle might catch on fire from the flame.


Don't pick up things that have been sitting in or fallen into a fire. The coals are very, very hot and the flames can burn you. If something falls into a fire, ask an adult for help straight away.


Look out for your little brothers and sisters and any other young children. Make sure that they don't go near the stove or a fire source. Teach them about how fire or heat can hurt them.


Ask your parents to buy you close-fitting nightwear. Loose nightwear can easily trail into a fire or heater and catch on fire. Close-fitting pajamas are safer.


Be electricity wise.

Never stick your fingers, sticks or any other objects into an electrical socket. This can burn you very badly if the electricity carries out to your body.
Leave electrical cords alone. They can be a cause of fire.
