BEWARE
of
fire
hazards
Winter is time for heaters and fires; and increased fire risks! 70% of all burns to young children are caused by touching unguarded fires or by clothing catching alight.
IN YOUR HOUSE BE SURE:
| 1. |
All fires and heaters are guarded. |
| 2. |
That all members of the household understand how inflammable most clothing is. |
| 3. |
That special attention is taken to protect a child in a long nightie. |
| 4. |
If clothing catches alight wrap the person quickly in a hearthrug or something similar. |
