Would your child now what to do? Would you remember to STOP, DROP & ROLL?
It’s scary to think about but if your child’s clothes catch on fire their instinct will be to run. And that won’t help!
So, this firework season it’s important to teach children what to do. Remember, STOP, DROP, and ROLL:
STOP what you are doing.
DROP to the ground and cover your face with your hands.
ROLL over and over to put out the flames.
You can encourage children to practice putting out pretend flames by making it into a fun game in the garden.
