ü Fire is the leading cause of death in children under 15
ü 80% of fire deaths occur when people sleep
ü 7% of homes in the U.S. lack smoke alarms
ü 20% of U.S. homes have smoke alarms that do not work
ü 80% of all fire deaths occurred in 27% of homes that did not have working smoking alarms
With the instruction to the kids in school they receive a package that includes replacement batteries for their home smoke alarm. The cost to the Kiwanis Clubs to put on this program is as little as $4 per student. What a wonderful way to show that Kiwanis Cares about the safety of our children.
