Children cause more than 100,000 a year which is around 40% of yearly fires. 20,000 of the 100,00 fires caused by children in a year is estimated to occur in houses. Here are some ways you can prevent kids from starting fires:

  • ​ Keep lighter, matches, lighter fluid, or any other fire starters out of reach of children

  • Teach fire danger to children at a young age​

  • Keep outlet covers on outlets

  • Keep control knobs off of stoves to prevent children from turning burners on  â€‹

  • Don't let kids play with fire including controlled burns since they can easy turn into uncontrolled.
