Great Fire Safety Website: Be Fire Smart

July 10th, 2009 | Filed under: Child Proofing, Family Safety, Fire Safety |

Liberty Mutual’s “Be Fire Smart” site is a great resource for fire safety information, presented in a fun and interactive way. There are separate sections for parents, teachers, and children - covering a variety of fire-safety and prevention topics. On the site you will find information on planning fire escape routes, tips for preventing fires, and other home safety information - most of it interactive or using video.

There are also fun ways to teach kids about fire safety, including:

  • Download and print the Be Fire Smart coloring book.
  • Learn what all of the firefighting gear is called, and what it is used for.
  • Play a game called “How Fast Can You Spot Trouble”.

If you are a parent, be sure to review this information yourself to make sure you know how to keep your home and family safe from fire. Use the teaching tools to help your kids understand important safety tips.  

If you are a teacher, they have a wide variety of teaching materials available to you, including complete lesson plans for fire safety awareness.

Great Site! Way to go Liberty Mutual!

    Thanks for this awesome information. I advise families to consider installing security alarms as an added fire safety measure, too. The quick access to resources in the time of need makes these alarms more than just burglary deterants.

    All the best,

    Window bars have a dual purpose. To keep burglars out and to keep children from falling out.
    The consumer products safety commission requires that all window bars have a quick release mechanism for emergency escape in case of fire.
    Drews Custom Ironworks makes several types of window grills, which conforms in all of these areas. The window grills range from decorative metal art to a steel netting which looks like a regular mosquito screen.
    All individually made to your specific size requirements.

    Fire safety programs can never come soon enough. You should always have a plan with your family in case of an emergency so that everyone know where they should go and meet.
