Fires caused by a child's prank

Recommendations for adults - what to do in order to avoid a fire from a child's prank with fire:

do not allow children to use matches and candles in your absence;
do not leave small children alone near open working electrical appliances, fireplaces or stoves;

if you have a gas stove, turn off the gas valve when you have to leave your child alone at home. Do not lose sight of children when a stove with gas burners is involved;

always buy matches and lighters yourself. Don't ask a child to do it;
watch your actions. Sometimes the actions of adults are more eloquent than any words and prohibitions;

learn emergency service phone numbers by heart with your children;

show the child all possible emergency or emergency exits that can be used in case of fire;

Do not pass by if you find teenagers playing with fire or making a fire in the absence of adults:
do not be afraid to exaggerate when talking about possible consequences. Children have a very good imagination and imagination, and after learning what tragedies a seemingly safe candle fire can cause, he will remember it for the rest of his life;
teach your child the correct actions in case of fire. Communicate with children on an equal footing. Trust them. They are able to make the right decisions in extreme situations if they have the necessary information and know what to do. Children have good endurance, and in a dangerous situation are able to act even less emotionally than adults.
What should children do in case of fire?

Do not try to hide from the fire in the apartment, but leave it. When getting out of the house, use only the stairs.

Call the rescue service on 101 or 112, clearly tell your address, full name and what happened.

Ask the neighbors for help.

When the door is locked, you need to call for help, cover your nose with a wet cloth or a wet napkin.

Do not open windows.

It is very important that children remember these tips. By personal example, teach children to comply with fire safety vaccinations. Only by taking great care of our children will we be able to prevent fires from children's pranks with fire, save your home, property and the most precious thing-the life of a child.
