What can a third-graders do to prevent fires from starting? Students of Debbie Belanger’s third-grade class at the Woodland Community School had lots of good ideas about things they can do to make sure fires don’t start.

Juliet Littleton
“Do not play with matches or lighters.”
Anna Belanger
“Don’t keep the oven on, and blow out the candle before you go to bed.”
Ryan Cole
“Don’t touch matches or lighters, and have adults light fires by themselves.”
Dominic Crouch
“Keep lighters where little kids can’t touch them, and turn off the stove when you’re done with it.”
Ethan Philbrook
“Don’t leave the lights on when you’re out of the room, don’t leave the stove on, and don’t light fires with kerosene. That’s all I can think of.”
Tanner Prashaw
“Make sure that everyone knows how to practice a fire drill and make sure that people know what to do when their clothes catch on fire — stop, drop and roll!”
Mackenzie Tracy
“Don’t play with matches and don’t play with a lighter.”
Mercy McCarthy
“Don’t leave things on, like lights.”
