About Fire

Fire is fast!
A small flame can become big quickly. It only takes a few minutes for smoke to fill your house.

Fire is hot!
The temperature in a fire can be very hot.

Fire is dark!
When a fire starts, it is bright. But the smoke will make a room very dark. You may not be able to see.

Fire is deadly!
Smoke is poisonous and can hurt you.

What to do if You Hear a Smoke Alarm Sound
  • If there is smoke, get low and go to your exit.
  • Go to your family's outside meeting place.
  • Call 911
  • Stay outside. Once you are outside, do not go back inside unless a firefighter says it is okay.
