All fires need three things: fuel, heat and oxygen. Fuel is the material that burns. Heat can come from lots of places including a lit match or candle, a kitchen stove, or a cigarette. Oxygen is in the air around us and a big supply will make the fire grow.Your home should have a smoke detector with fresh batteries outside each bedroom. So if a fire does start, the alarm will warn you, and give you time to get out fast. It is very important that your family has a fire escape plan. Talk with your parents about your families escape plan. All escape plans should include a meeting place outside your house where your entire family will meet. When you hear the fire alarm or smell smoke, you should yell 'FIRE' and get out of the house as fast as possible. Do not go back inside. Meet with your family at the designated meeting spot and notify a neighbor to call 911. If your clothes catch on fire, then you must STOP. DROP. ROLL. Once you notice that your clothes are on fire, STOP what you are doing. DROP to the ground. ROLL around on the ground to put out the flames. Remember, NEVER PLAY WITH FIRE CONGRATULATIONS!
