As part of our campaign to raise awareness for kids fire safety, we wanted to highlight some photos to inspire you to have a conversation with kids you know about fire safety.
We're working with a host of our partners across the public health, children’s advocacy and emergency management fields, including the National Commission on Children and Disasters. While the photos below aren’t directly from partners of this campaign, we’re hoping they give you some ideas on preparing your family for home fires.
Visit www.ready.gov/kidsfiresafety to learn more, and follow the conversation on Twitter by searching #kidsfiresafety.
