In fact, I had it approved by everyone who needed to approve it and had the budget, but fire scares people and it became a battle I didn't want to fight last year.<br /><br />Maybe I should go the route of having rangers come demonstrate. It might have everyone relax a little.Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-83718075550595601622011-04-26T16:44:16.593-07:002011-04-26T16:44:16.593-07:00@YTSI . . .

The only way to know and understand fire is to experience it directly. Our local ranger service found that when they visited schools and showed children how to make and light fires, the number of wilful fire raising activities on their sites around the city declined.<br /><br />As for my sister...well aged 3 she was trying to light fires behind the sofa in the living room using freshly cut grass, lumps of coal and matches!Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.com
