Causes and Consequences of Fires in Preschools
Fires in preschools often originate from seemingly harmless causes: electrical faults, gas leaks, carelessness when using stoves, or even children playing with fire. The consequences of these fires are not only property damage but also serious impacts on the health and lives of children and teachers.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, a preschool education expert with over 20 years of experience, shared in her book “Safety For Your Beloved Child”: “Prevention is better than cure. Equipping both teachers and children with fire safety knowledge is extremely important.”
Effective Fire Prevention Measures
Fire prevention should be implemented regularly and seriously. Here are some important measures:
- Regularly inspect electrical systems, gas lines, and electrical appliances.
- Equip with sufficient fire extinguishers and provide usage instructions for staff and teachers.
- Organize regular fire drills for children and teachers.
- Absolutely do not place flammable materials near electrical sources or heat sources.
- Educate children about the dangers of fire and how to respond in case of a fire.
