Fire Watch
Fire Watch offers educational materials and presentations to schools, parent groups and community organizations that go a long way in helping children understand the dangers of fire. Constructive exercises introduce children to both the safe and dangerous uses of fire and other forms of combustible energy. Fire Watch stresses the fact that fire safety education should start as early as possible in the home, making sure that children learn what to do,for instance,they find a pack of matches or a cigarette lighter.
