CHILDREN AND FIRE SAFETY Do you know that children under age 5 are twice as likely as the rest of us to die in a home fire? Hi, I’m Rob Neale from the United States Fire Administration. Here’s what you can do to keep children safe from home fires: Keep matches and lighters out of their reach, maintain a working smoke alarm on every level of your home, and practice a fire escape plan. Pick a meeting spot outside of the home. Remember: get out and stay out. For more fire safety information, visit usfaparents.gov.
