Kids' Books for Fire Safety

According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), children set more than 100,000 fires each year. Children make up a quarter of all fire-related deaths. 40 percent of fires that kill children under five-years-old are set by children playing with fire. Check your fire detectors in your home often and keep your children safe by educating them in proper fire safety procedures.
