What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about what to do if there's a fire in their home. They can review (or create) an escape plan that identifies two exits in each room and stage a fire drill that goes through each step of the escape plan. Families can also talk about identifying fire hazards around the home and what to do if you spot something that could be dangerous.

Is it any good?

This colorful, well-designed site is an excellent introduction to fire safety, providing helpful information without being overly scary. The fun flash games are a good way to reinforce the lessons, which are age-appropriate and easy to understand. Parents may learn a few things, too. The noises that accompany some of the lessons -- like a beeping smoke alarm -- can be a bit startling.
