The Fire Triangle

The Fire Triangle is one of the first lessons educators from California Fire Prevention Organization teach to our 4th and 5th grade students. Those kids go on to learn other important safety rules in our three-part, in-school, Junior Fire Inspector series. This is a terrific opportunity to teach your students several key points:

• Fire needs three components to burn: heat, fuel, and oxygen
• Remove any one of the three, and a fire dies

• Pick two ways out of your apartment or house
• Choose a family meeting place
