HOT TIPS

By North Vancouver
District Fire Department

They die in fires that they

Started with matches or lighters
. that were left within the reach of
their small hands.

Children are fascinated with
fire. Many children who start
fires are simply. playing with
matches or lighters out of curiosi-
ty.

- In some cases, they are imitat-
ing their mom or dad without
knowing how dangerous a match
or lighter can be, | .

These lethal weapons should
always be kept on a high shelf

_ out of reach‘ of the children. If
you have smokers in the house,

tions to keep lighters and matches
out of children’s hands.

District of North Vancouver
Fire Services encourages you to
take time to teach your children
that a match is a tool, not a toy.

Adults use these tools for spe-
cific purposes — to light a stove,
candle, or camp fire. Teach chil-
dren that if they find matches or
lighters they should to take them
to a grown-up and then they
should be praised when they do
sO.

The majority of fires that are
Started by children are not inten-
tional. If we do our part te keep
these lethal weapons out of chil-
dren’s hands, we can prevent
these accidents.

For further information on
preventing fires in your home,

Vancouver Fire Services non-
