Home Fire Safety
Home Fire Safety is an adult responsibility!
Start Safe: A Fire and Burn Safety Program for Preschoolers and Their Families provides preschool teachers and fire educators the tools needed to help parents and caregivers make their homes safer. The program provides tools to deliver effective fire education to children ages 3-6 years. The Office of State Fire Marshal's Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention Program, in partnership with Home Safety Council and Safe Kids Oregon, are providing Start Safe kits and training to fire agencies and preschool programs throughout the state at no cost.
To schedule training in your community, contact Krista Fischer at 503-934-8240.

PRODUCT RECALLS
MAY, 2012
Safe Kids is committed to keeping you informed about recalls of kids’ oriented products. While it is important to keep aware of all recalls, Safe Kids urges you to pay particular attention to ones in bold, as they are associated with one or more deaths. (A death and other severe injuries prompted a recall of a pool slide; see below.) Safe Kids is now issuing this recall warning list twice a month and will provide warnings about especially dangerous recalled products.
