BURRILLVILLE – Drop low and go kids!
This simple piece of advice is actually very easy to do, and it’s even better if you can practice “drop low and go” with your entire family this holiday season.
Having sleepover guests during the holidays could be another great time to practice this great fire safety and burn prevention exercise in order to help keep family members and friends safer. Sleepovers happen frequently during the holiday season, but what families do themselves for fire safety and burn prevention may sometimes be overlooked or forgotten. It only takes a few minutes to show overnight guests where your designated fire escape routes are inside your residence and to practice “drop low and go” with them.
Remember to try and keep everyone in your apartment and house fire safe this holiday season. Kids can draw themselves in the open white space located under the FDPS Firefighter Logo, dropping low and going in this Fearless Dino Protector Squad coloring cartoon.
Please share with your family and friends.
