About This Book

A collection of short, child-oriented stories and practical chapters that show how everyday carelessness can start household and forest fires, followed by clear prevention steps and safety drills. Fictional episodes depict common hazards — matches left about, improper ash disposal, bonfires, flammable decorations — and each is followed by an explanation of how the blaze began and how it could have been avoided or controlled. Separate chapters describe forest fires, firefighting work, rules for avoiding fires, what to do during a house fire, and basic first aid for burns, scalds, and smoke suffocation. The book aims to teach children practical habits and emergency responses through examples and illustrations.
