Preschool and Kindergarten Firefighters and Fire Safety Crafts, Activities, Lessons, and Games. Fire is magical to children. It emits warmth and light and is used in many types of celebrations around the world. However, fire also has a scary side. It can be dangerous when it is misunderstood or used inappropriately. For these reasons, children need to learn at an early age that fire is not for play. They also need to learn how to protect themselves if they come into contact with fire. Our resources introduce children to the benefits and dangers of fire.
