Recently, several of my FaceBook friends “shared” or “liked” a study released by the US Fire Administration discussing findings regarding the vulnerability of children in fire. I must admit, I’m a bit tardy in joining in on the discussions – but it is a topic that I feel is worth repeating ad nauseum, so I’ll take my turn now.
And since there is some absolutely wonderful information already posted – it’s going to be an easy, and fairly short rant.
- Fact: Fires occur
- Fact: Fires can occur anywhere, anytime
- Fact: Fires destroy, kill, and maim
- Fact: Smoke detectors save lives
- Fact: The very young and the elderly are at a greater risk
- Fact: Our children rely on us for much of their care and instruction
- Fact: Even very young children can learn basic Fire Safety for the home and school
- Fact: The learning begins with you – and it can begin right now
Some fabulous resources are available from FEMA and the American Red Cross – share with the special child(ren) in your life – you’ll be glad you did!
That’s about it – for now anyway – Pass It On!
