For the safety of children
Almost all young children show an increased interest in fire, without fully realizing its potential danger. At the age of three to five years, children often repeat adults in their games, imitating their actions, work. The desire for independence is especially evident when children are left alone at home.
There are cases when adults, due to various circumstances, are forced to leave children for some time without supervision. You can not be sure that, left alone at home, the child will not dare to play with a box of matches, will not want to set fire to paper, will not make a bonfire.As they say: "The forbidden fruit is sweet!", therefore it is more useful to explain once again to the child about the danger lurking in a box of matches, a lighter, than just to say: "You can't!".
It is especially dangerous if children remain in locked apartments or rooms. In the event of a fire, they will not be able to leave the dangerous room outside.
It is not uncommon for a prank to turn into hooliganism. For the sake of entertainment, the guys let burning "airplanes" from the roofs of houses and balconies, set fire to mailboxes, door panels of apartments, throw lit smoke bombs into entrances, without thinking at all what consequences such entertainment can lead to.
What you need to do in order to avoid a fire from a child's prank with fire:
- tell children about fire-safe behavior;
- be an example in all situations related to compliance with fire safety rules;
- do not leave matches in a place accessible to children;
- do not instruct children to light stoves, gas stoves, or turn on household appliances themselves;
- make sure that children do not light fires;
- when leaving the house, do not leave young children without adult supervision;
- organize an interesting leisure time for your child.
Teach your child the correct actions in case of fire.
If a fire or signs of gorenje (smoke, high temperature, burning smell, etc.) are detected, a child of any age should immediately leave the room
In case of a fire, it is necessary to inform adults about it or to the fire extinguishing service "101", to the rescue service "112".
As they say: "The forbidden fruit is sweet!", therefore it is more useful to explain once again to the child about the danger lurking in a box of matches, a lighter, than just to say: "You can't!".
It is very important that children remember these tips. By personal example, teach children to comply with fire safety rules. Only by taking great care of our children will we be able to prevent fires from children's pranks with fire, save our home, property and the most precious thing – the life of a child.
