According to National Geographic Kids, National Fire Prevention Week marks the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. On October 8 of that year, a small fire in a barn spread so fast through the city that more than 250 people were killed, 100,000 lost their homes, and more than 17,000 buildings went up in smoke. The disaster changed the way people thought about fires. Afterwards, people realized just how fast and dangerous fire could be and began to focus on stopping fires before they start.

Help kids learn about fireman, fire trucks, and fire safety with these fun tips. We’ve been doing a lot of fire engine building over the summer vacation.  From a wooden Melissa & Doug fire engine, where we taught our little man how to use a screwdriver, to assembling his Lego fire engine set.  Both activities required him to follow the directions in the manuals.
