Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children younger than 5 years are at the greatest risk for burn deaths in a house fire.They often panic and hide in closets or under beds rather than escape safely.Parents need to practice fire drills with their children to teach them what to do in the event of a house fire.Covering outlets,turning the water heater down,and keeping children out of the kitchen when cooking are more appropriate for younger children.
