The Basic Fire Tips That Most People Forget

by Michael_Goldberg

As high school students graduate and prepare to move away to
college, they find out there are many things they need to know
and understand before they truly are on their own. Many children
learn about fire safety when they are in grade school. Once they
reach third or maybe fourth grade, they are no longer reminded
about the hazards of fire, and how they can prevent fires by
applying fire safety practices each and every day.

The tragedy is, many students leave for college with little to
no reminders about fire safety. The result is often careless
fires on campus that could have easily been prevented; sometimes
lives are even lost. If college campuses would take the
initiative to educate and inform college students who live on
campus about fire safety, certainly fewer fires and fatalities
would occur on campuses across the United States each year.

So, how can college campuses educate and remind students about
the necessity of creating good habits by practicing fire safety
in their daily lives? Pamphlets in dorms, restrooms, and campus
apartment rooms, including a pamphlet in students� orientation
packets help as well. Many campuses put wellness signs up
throughout the grounds to remind students to be healthy. Possibly
signs on campus or sheets of paper on bulletin boards are also
excellent ways to get the word around. Also, if campuses want to
get the local community involved, they could invite the local
fire department to come and speak to students about fire safety.
Making it a student or school sponsored BBQ is always fun, and
poor college students always show up for free food!

So, what kind of tips and information should be included in
these pamphlets? Statistics always help people to understand the
seriousness and the extent of fire damage on campus grounds
(often the campus dormitories or apartment housing). On campus,
the number of one cause of fire is started in the kitchen.
Providing students with tips on kitchen safety would certainly
help reduce the number kitchen-related causes of fire on college
campuses. Reminding students to keep books, magazines, paper
towels, napkins, and bags away from the stove top, in addition to
keeping the handles of pots and pans turned inward on the stove.

The pamphlet can also remind students to always put candles in
votives or a similar form of protective shield or base. Mention
that candles should not be lit unless someone is present in the
room, and when the person leaves, they should be responsible for
blowing out the candle.

Many people are familiar with the unflattering college student
stereotype: work hard, and play harder. Studies have shown that
the most fatalities that occur on college campuses are the deaths
of students in fires who were under the influence of alcohol at
the time. Being intoxicated limits judgment and it also inhibits
a quick response for escape.

Many college campuses are active when it comes to reminding
students to lead healthy lives and pay attention to their mental,
physical, and emotional well being. However, fire safety can
often be overlooked, and sadly, student housing has been
destroyed and loves have been lost due to the lack of fire safety
practices of careless smoking habits. Reminding students of fire
safety through pamphlets, message boards, and posted signs can
reduce the number of campus fires, in addition to saving the
lives of ambitious students.
