“Don’t play with matches!”
It was the first and foremost safety rule we learned as children, but almost 45,000 fires in the United States were set by children in 2010. Tomorrow at the Pineview Community Church in Albany, teachers, parents, day-care providers and others will learn how to teach children about fire safety. Doctor Robert Cole will present a “Play Safe-Be Safe” workshop. Dr. Cole, president of the Fireproof Children Company of Rochester, says “don’t play with matches” is still important.
The Play Safe-Be Safe workshop, sponsored by the Capital District Child Safety Council, the Albany Fire Department and the BIC Corporation will be held at the Pineview Community Church on Washington Avenue Extension at 9 a.m. More information is available at playsafebesafe.com
