Here are 10 tips for teaching fire safety for kids.                 1. Escape Route Planning
Designate two ways out of every room, if at all possible.
2. Windows Are For More Than Fresh Air
Make sure that windows are not stuck closed, that screens can be removed quickly, and that security bars can be opened.
3. Second Floor Safety
Escape ladders should be placed near second floor windows, and children should practice using them.
4. Feeling Way to Safety
Children should practice feeling their way out of the home in the dark or with their eyes closed. Parents and providers can turn this into a game by blindfolding a child and placing in a room and asking them to feel their way to a designated area. Daycares and child care providers can set it up an obstacle course.
5. 9-1-1 Is A Critical Teaching Skill
Children show know how to call 911. Consider teaching a 911 song to reinforce the numbers (one option is sung to “Frere Jacques”): There’s a fire! There’s a fire! 9-1-1! 9-1-1! Call the fire department! Call the fire department! 9-1-1! 9-1-1! Reinforce this by letting them practice on an unplugged phone.
6. Smoke Detectors 101
Teach children about smoke detectors, why they are installed, how they work, and the sound that they make. Children need to be able to associate the sound going off with a fire as part of fire safety for kids. 7. Out Means Stay Out
Teach children that once they are out of a burning house or building, they must go to the designated place and never, ever venture back in. If someone or a family pet is missing, they should inform a fire fighter or adult.
8. It's In The Touch
Instruct kids how to check doors to see if they are hot, and if so, how to find another way out.
9. Stop, Drop and Roll
Teach kids what to do in the event that their clothes catch fire. Make sure they understand “stop, drop and roll.”
10. Practice Monthly
Practice your escape plan at least twice a year with children as part of fire safety for kids, preferably monthly.
