No Dragons For Tea

We no longer see Public Information Films on the television of young children playing with a box of matches and causing a house fire.  This gave parents the opportunity to discuss with their children what would happen if a fire started in the home.

Children and young people start to play with fire for various reasons, ranging from natural curiosity in toddlers to older children using firesetting to express feelings of anger or emotional distress. Without help and guidance, this ‘firesetting behaviour’ can increase and lead to more serious consequences – serious personal injury and damage to homes, schools and property.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue recommend that if you have young children, why not get them to make an escape plan? Their education pages have lots of useful information to help children understand the importance of fire safety in the home.  

No Dragons for Tea: Fire Safety for Kids (& Dragons) is a fun and easy way to remember what to do in case of fire.  It shows children that learning about fire safety doesn’t have to be scary.  The story ends with “The Dragon’s Fire Safety Rhyme” – a fun and easy way to remember what to do in case of fire.
