Fire and Burn Safety
More than 40 percent of residential fire-related deaths among children ages 9 and under occur when the child is attempting to escape, unable to act or acting irrationally. There are many things families can do to greatly reduce their chances of dying or being injured in a fire, such as creating and practicing an escape plan, installing smoke alarms, and being careful with matches and cigarettes.
