Fires can start from various sources like matches, lighters, appliances, and carelessness. To safeguard your family, supervise young children and secure lighters and matches. Develop a home escape plan and educate your children on fire safety basics, including how to call 9-1-1 and the importance of smoke alarms. Teach them the STOP, DROP, and ROLL technique. In case of a fire, evacuate immediately and call for help. Always reinforce the idea that firefighters are our friends. For detailed resources, visit Sparky.org and FEMA's fire statistics.
