"Fire is our friend, fire is our enemy"
In the modern world, no one is immune from social upheavals or natural disasters. Have you ever thought that children's pranks with matches and lighters can lead to a fire? Fire always occurs unexpectedly. It would seem that everything was fine just now, and suddenly a flame appears and suffocating smoke appears. But preventing fires is in our hands. Resolving this problem requires coordinated actions of teachers and parents. Children's attraction to fire and playing with matches is well known, although many children know about the dangers of such games and know how to distinguish between “good” and “evil” fire.
When discussing with your child the possible causes of fires, it is important to introduce him to fire safety measures, develop basic knowledge about the dangerous consequences of fires, and teach him how to handle fire carefully.
What to tell your child
“A long time ago, man learned to make fire and use the power of fire to warm himself, cook food, and make machines work. But at the same time, man also learned the destructive power of fire: people died in the flames, homes, crops, livestock, forests, entire villages and even cities burned.
Think and tell us what could cause a fire (faulty electrical appliances, an unextinguished cigarette butt, playing with matches and a lighter, firecrackers, an unplugged iron).
Electrical appliances are assistants in human life, and there are a lot of them in every apartment.
If you know how these devices work, explain or listen to the story.
Electric current runs through wires and makes all electrical appliances work. Electric current is our assistant. If it's not there, we won't be able to watch TV, blow-dry our hair, or listen to music. But electric current can be dangerous and even cause a fire.
Rules for using electrical appliances
— If you smell burning rubber, see a smoking wire, or notice that the socket or plug of the electrical cord is heating up during operation, immediately inform an adult about this and ask them to call a master electrician.
— Don’t forget to unplug electrical appliances. The cause of a fire can be our forgetfulness, inattention, and haste.
You probably know that there are substances that can easily catch fire. These are flammable liquids: gasoline, kerosene, oil. These substances should be kept away from fire as they may ignite instantly. It is impossible to extinguish burning oil, gasoline or kerosene with water; these liquids are lighter than water, so they continue to burn after floating to the surface of the water. What do you think can be used to extinguish them? They are extinguished with sand or a special mixture. People have come up with special devices - fire extinguishers, which are found in every institution, in transport, etc.
