It’s raining, dreary and chilly today here at the Jersey shore. It’s the kind of weather where in the morning I just want to go back to bed for the day. In the afternoon and evening I start looking for a blanket. So, today was the perfect day to snuggle under a blanket with my little man and watch one of his all time favorites, Chuggington.

As you can see, my son wasn’t really as much in the mood for getting under a blanket as he was to play. I can’t blame him. When he saw the goodies that I had – firefighters hat and temporary tattoos – he decided he’d much rather grab his trains and play along while we watched. In our house, today was Chuggington Fire Patrol Rescue Day, in honor of the latest Chuggington DVD that was just released last week.

I enjoyed watching him enjoy himself watching and playing. He loves Chuggington. I love Chuggington because the messages of the show are terrific. I appreciate that the show shows the characters learning and working, instead of just playing like some of the animated shows do. The engines learn lessons about hard work, dependability, safety, team work and more. Children watching can even pick up some new info too!
In honor of “Chuggington Fire Patrol Rescue Day,” and to help keep your family and young trainees safe all year-round, here are some important tips from Firechugger Asher and the National Fire Protection Association:
· Asher says, “Plan ahead!”
Create a home escape plan so every member of your family knows what to do and where to go if there’s a fire. Designate a meeting spot, such as a tree or mailbox, that’s a safe distance from the home. And practice your home fire drill both at night and during the day.
· Asher says, “Stop a fire before it starts!”
Keep matches and lighters out of sight and out of reach from children. Store them up high, preferably in a locked cabinet or drawer. It’s also important to teach kids that lighters and matches are tools for adults only and that they should tell a grown-up if they see these items lying around.
· Asher says, “Cool it in the kitchen!”
Always keep an eye on the stove while you’re cooking, and use a timer as a reminder that the stove or oven is on. Create a “kid-free zone” around the stove as well as areas where hot food and drinks are prepared. And make sure to keep anything that can catch fire, including oven mitts and towels, away from hot appliances!
· Asher says, “Sound the alarm! “
Smoke detectors are a key part of a home fire escape plan. Make sure to install smoke detectors on every floor of the home, especially inside and outside bedrooms. Don’t forget to test all smoke alarms at least once a month!
· Asher says, “Stay low and stay out! “
If, during a fire, you have to escape through smoke, get low, go under the smoke and close the doors behind you as you leave each room. It’s crucial to remind children that, once outside, they should never go back inside for anything, including pets or toys. It’s best to wait to call the fire department until you get outside and are a safe distance away from the fire.
Asher says, “Follow these blazin’ safety tips and you’ll be in control and ready to roll if there’s ever a fire.”
