Keeping Meadville Children Safe During a Fire

1/29/2021 (Permalink)

Your children can and should be just as prepared as you are to be safe during a fire.

It’s one thing for you to be prepared for a fire, it’s another for the kids in your Meadville household to be prepared for a fire as well. This doesn’t necessarily mean your children should be able to change the smoke alarm or be able to put out a fire. However, your children can and should be just as prepared as you are to be safe during a fire. There are a few steps you can take to make sure your kids are prepared, such as:

• Making sure your children can call local Meadville emergency services.
• Having a Fire Escape Route and making sure your household can locate exits from each room in your home.
• Making sure your family can contact each other.
• Having a location where your family can meet outside.
• Staying calm. If you’re calm during a fire, so will they!
• Practice your Fire Escape Plan twice a year.

Taking these steps can ensure your children’s safety when you’re together or even if a fire occurs when you’re not home. It is important to be thorough with these tips and to practice them often to be prepared as possible. If you continue to remind your family of these fire safety tips you can ensure your kids will be able to handle a fire. There aren’t many things more important than your children’s safety!
