Teaching children to be safe with fire

Don't leave children in a room where there's a fire risk.

  • Keep matches and lighters where children cannot see or reach them.


  • Place candles and tea lights where children cannot reach them.


  • Put a childproof fireguard in front of an open fire or heater.


  • Don't let children play or leave toys near a fire or heater.


  • Put child locks on cupboards containing anything that could be used to start a fire e.g., matches, candles, and flammable liquids.


  • Put plug guards into sockets so children can't stick anything into the holes.
