What's the safest thing to do?
What is this experiment about?
Something has gone wrong at home. Look at the scenario and choose what a smart, safe kid should do first.
Questions kids ask
- What is the most important fire safety rule for kids?
- Always get an adult's help right away, move away from danger, and never try to fight a fire yourself.
- What should I do if my clothes catch fire?
- Stop, drop to the ground, and roll to smother the flames — and get an adult immediately.
- Should kids ever use water on a kitchen fire?
- No — water can make some fires worse, especially oil fires. That's a job for an adult with the right tools.
