🔥 October is Fire Safety Month! 🔥
At Robbins Children’s Programs, we believe fire safety is an important life skill that can be introduced to children in age-appropriate ways from an early age. Throughout the year, we help children learn what to do when a fire alarm sounds, how to safely exit a building, follow trusted adults during an emergency, and understand the important role of firefighters and first responders.
🏠 Families can practice fire safety at home, too!
Here are a few simple ways to get started:
🚨 Check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
🏃 Create and practice a family escape plan
📍 Choose a safe meeting place outside
🔥 Talk about staying away from matches, lighters, candles, stoves and grills
👩🚒 Remind children never to hide from firefighters
☎️ Teach children when and how to call 911
And remember—practice makes prepared! Try having a family fire drill, drawing your escape plan together, or asking your child:
💬 “What would you do if you heard the fire alarm?”
Fire safety doesn't have to be scary. When children have opportunities to learn, practice and ask questions, they can build the confidence and skills they need to respond safely during an emergency.
❤️ At RCP, we’re proud to partner with our families in helping children become safe, responsible and prepared members of our community!
