Fire Safety Alert: Kids Playing with Fire in Creswell Sparks Blaze?

We restore fire damage “Like it never even happened” in Lane County.

Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Creswell. Educating children about the dangers of fire is a critical step in preventing residential fire damage. Teach them that fire is a tool, not a toy, and should only be used under adult supervision. Explain the potential consequences of playing with matches, lighters, and other fire-starting tools.

Keep matches, lighters, and flammable materials out of reach and sight of children. Lock them in cabinets if necessary. Educate children about the importance of not touching or experimenting with these items. If your child exhibits a strong interest in fire, consider seeking guidance from a child psychologist or fire prevention specialist to address this behavior constructively.

Establish clear rules about fire safety and regularly review them with your children. Conduct fire drills at home so children understand what to do in a fire. Ensure they know how to call 911 and articulate their home address.

Create a family fire escape plan with at least two ways out of each room and a designated meeting spot outside. Practicing this plan can help ensure that everyone knows how to exit the house safely during a fire. Implementing these proactive measures can greatly minimize the risk of fire incidents resulting from children playing with fire.
