Home fires can be very scary. The flames of a home fire produces heat, that heat can get up to 700 degrees F. Inhaling the warm air could scorch your lungs. Fire is dark, but most people think that it is light. It's not light because the smoke it makes is dark black. Fires produce a poisonous gas called Carbon Dioxide. That could stop your breathing if you breath too much of it.
To prevent a home fire is to make sure everything is turned off, even night lights. Just remember home fires are dangerous. After a fire people could still be effected for their whole life. If you don't have water you could also use sand from your backyard to put out a fire. Home fires are very similar to forest fires. Just forest fires are usually bigger than home fires. If you leave the building thats on fire, you can't go back in even if you left something, or someone. You can open a window and waive a bright cloth or flashlight.
Make sure that you don't mess with fire!
