Fire Prevention Week is celebrated every October. Originally proclaimed as Fire Prevention Day in 1920 by President Woodrow Wilson, it commemorated the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge expanded the event to a whole week. He noted that in the previous year some 15,000 lives were lost to fire in the US. Calling the loss “startling,” President Coolidge’s proclamation stated: “This waste results from conditions which justify a sense of shame and horror; for the greater part of it could and ought to be prevented.”
Burn Institute: Fire Safe Kid
“Play games, take quizzes, watch cool videos and learn how to become a fire safe kid just like me!” In addition to the Kids Zone, there is also a portal for families that covers fire safety for home, holiday, travel and outdoors, and one for teachers with fire safety curriculum for grades K-12. For preschoolers, look at the Hot or Not game and the interactive coloring games.
Danger Rangers: Fire Safety for Kids
Danger Rangers’ five easy fire safety tips can “greatly reduce the risk of fire-related deaths.” Just below the tips, enjoy the fire safety song, the Danger Rangers video, the coloring activity, and the Hazard House Game. “Can you find the safety violations? Just move the mouse around, and when you find one, just click on it and I’ll change the picture so you can see how it’s supposed to look. When you’ve found them all, you win!”
Fire Safe Kids
“To be good at something, you have to practice. Well don’t worry, practicing fire safety has never been this much fun!” In addition to the coloring pages, printable puzzles, and games, highlights of the site include learning about the Three Ps (prevent, plan, practice) and the science section. “All fires require three elements: oxygen, heat, fuel. These three elements are commonly referred to as the Fire Triangle. If the right amounts of each are present, and a chemical reaction occurs, a fire can start.”
