October 9th has been set aside as Fire-Prevention Day.
Fire-Prevention Day is really a safety-first day. Can you tell why?
Fire-Prevention Day means a cleaner city. How will that mean safety first to all the children?
The fire drills in school are safety-first drills.
One of the greatest dangers from fire is that people will crowd together in the doors in trying to escape from a burning building, and will be injured or killed.
Many little children have lost their lives in this way.
Children who have been accustomed to fire drills are not frightened when the bell rings to form in line for the drill; and they move onward in an orderly way until all are out of the building.
If the building were on fire, there would be no better way of helping all the children to safety.
In helping anyone whose clothing has caught on fire, smother the flames with rugs and heavy wraps.
Remember this
