Home Fires

Home fires can be very dangerous.  Even if they're small. If you light anything on fire and it destroys a neighborhood, it could cost 7.3 billion dollars! You don't really have time to call the fire department, because it could spread in 2 minutes.

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!

  1. Great job, Ryder! It looks like you learned a lot about the dangers of fires. Something we should always think of in case of a fire are our pets too!

  2. Fires are extremely dangerous. I'm glad you got busted before you and your family were hurt. I bet you could take a trip to your local fire station & they could give you a tour of the station and tell you about fire safety!

  3. I remember getting busted for playing with fire when I was young. My patents didn't educate me about its dangers; they just yelled at me. I got mad and played with fire again and almost caught our house on fire. This is a great article and I hope you've learned something and don't play with fire again!

  4. Playing with fire is very dangerous. You found out what it can do. What are you plans now when you're around fire, or when you have the opportunity to use matches or lighters again?
