Title: Kids and Character Fire Safety Introduction
Post by: EDNY on January 13, 2014, 11:07:59 PM

Had me thinking about batteries I have in junk drawers etc.

After living through a fire in his own house, Dave shares the lessons he learned during his experience. In this first video, he shows how a simple 9 volt battery started his house fire. Please share this message with friends and families so that they can learn to be safe with batteries.

I remember stories from when I was in the Border Patol of guys putting extra walkie talkie batteries and loose 357 rds in their pockets and having the rounds going off.  Tough trying to sneak up on those river crossers when your pockets are exploding! ;D
