It was a terrible fire, and it was burning towards all the rich houses. Someone rang the fire alarm, and soon men in big fire trucks came to help fight the fire. It was hard work but finally they put it out. Then a policeman came and wanted to know what had started the fire. I think they made Father pay some money for starting a dangerous fire. Well, that put an end to Father's camping on the college 235
campus! It's funny that they call the yards of a college a campus, but they don't let you camp there! So children, fires can be dangerous! Fire can not only catch more things on fire, but it can catch you on fire too, or your tent, or campsite, or house, or the whole forest!

2. Practise a fire drill in your home. Do you know some different ways to get out of your house if it's on fire?
5. Do you know the telephone number to call for help?
~~
3. If your clothes catch fire, ~ run! Cross your arms across your chest and drop to the ground or floor, and roll slowly over and over. Never run because it makes the fire burn faster.
6. Always keep things that burn easily away from fire. And remember - accidents are caused mostly by someone's lack of love for others. So love one another! Be careful and prayerful with fire.
