- Each year about 1,200 children die and another 11,400 are injured in
- fires. Residential fires are the leading cause of death for children in 11
- states and the leading danger to children in the home nationwide. The chances
- of dying in a home fire are cut in half with the presence of a working smoke
- detector. It is important to teach children fire safety because they do not
- react to fire like adults. Children are often found dead by fire fighters
- under beds and in closets, where they have been hiding thinking they were safe
- from fire.
- That's why the National SAFE KIDS Campaign has produced a remarkable
- "Kids Fire Safety Booklet" in a format that is sure to catch the attention of
- youngsters. It looks like a comic book, but is filled with games, fire facts,
- activities and tips that help get the message across. It makes great reading
- for parents and children alike, or, better yet, as a family activity that all
- can participate in. You can get your copy by sending
- $1.00 to; Kids' Fire Safety Booklet-SK9, National SAFE KIDS Campaign-PR, 111
- Michigan Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20010-2970. The National SAFE KIDS
- Campaign is a long term effort to prevent childhood injury, the number one
- killer of children.
