Smoke alarms
Become the ‘Test it Tuesday’ champion for your family.
Working smoke alarms are important as they warn you if there’s a fire and give you and your family time to escape.
As the ‘Test it Tuesday’ champion, make sure your smoke alarms are tested every Tuesday, if you are unable to reach ask a grown up test them for you.
You could even encourage your family and friends to get into the 'Test it Tuesday' routine and help get the people of Oxfordshire testing their smoke alarms every Tuesday.
Matches and lighters
Never play with matches and lighters, fire is dangerous and you could get hurt.
If you see matches or lighters lying around or if you see anyone playing with matches and lighters tell a grown up straight away, fire is dangerous and they could get hurt.
If anyone suggests you play with matches or lighters, say no and tell a grown up.
Make an escape plan
Sit down with your family and make an escape plan, make sure everyone is involved so that they know what to do in the event of a fire.
You could even write down and draw your families escape plan to help everyone remember what to do in the event of a fire. Visit the make your escape plan page for guidance on how to make an escape plan and to print Drago's fire escape planner.
If you see smoke or flames tell a grown up straight away.
Remember to test your smoke alarms weekly, have an escape plan and in the event of a fire to get out, stay out and call the fire service.
Playtime safety
Never play in the kitchen, especially when a grown up is cooking.
Don’t play near fires or heaters and make sure you do not leave your toys lying around near them.
