Fire Prevention Week highlights child fireplay dangers
Fire Prevention Week warns that 245 fires started by children playing with heat sources last year caused two deaths and 40 injuries with 2.7 million dollars in property damage. Most fires occurred at home where lighters were used in 70 percent of cases, and bedding and papers were common fuels. Experts urge keeping matches and lighters out of reach, supervising children, replacing lighters with child resistant models, and teaching safe fire practices.
