Description
The card goes through the steps of how to safely escape a fire, specifically a home fire.
Explains how to check the door for heat, use a second exit, crawl low below smoke and to never hide from firefighters.
Be “Ruff” and Ready with Red’s Useful Fire Facts that remind kids to know how their smoke alarm sounds, to have a fire escape plan, a safe meeting place, two ways out and practice home fire drills.
The card’s concluding message is not only important but memorable, too: Think First! Stay Calm! and Call 9-1-1!
