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.” |
