Free Fire Safety Worksheet Great for Fire Prevention Week

Fire safety worksheets have been one of the most useful tools we’ve used to talk about serious topics without overwhelming my son.

We first introduced them during Fire Prevention Week, but now we revisit them regularly, especially as he’s gotten older and started staying home alone.

These free printables gave us an easy way to walk through what to do in an emergency, how to plan a safe escape, and what tools to rely on (like smoke alarms or calling 911).

Whether you’re a parent or a teacher, this fire safety worksheet pack can help start important conversations in a low-pressure, age-appropriate way, with posters, coloring pages, writing prompts, and a space to map out your own escape plan.

Printable fire safety worksheet for kids with coloring images and tips like stop, drop, roll and call 911

Fire Safety Worksheets for Kids

These fire prevention printables are for personal and classroom use. Scroll to the end of the post to grab the PDF file.

We also have a separate home fire safety worksheet for mapping out escape plans and emergency steps in a visual, kid-friendly format.

Fire Safety Coloring Page & Posters

There are two poster designs (each available in black and white or color) that help reinforce key fire safety tips:

In an emergency, dial 911
Install smoke detectors and check the batteries every month
If your clothes catch fire, Stop, Drop, and Roll
If there’s smoke, Stay Low and Go

The image shows two fire safety worksheets with colorful illustrations. One worksheet features the title "FIRE SAFETY" in bold letters with a fire truck, fire hydrant, firefighter, and safety tips like "Stop, Drop, and Roll." The other worksheet has similar content with a firefighter and a dog. Both worksheets include safety instructions such as "Install smoke detectors" and "Dial 911 in an emergency." Crayola crayons in red, yellow, and orange are placed beside the worksheets, and the background is clean and white for easy reading.

One version features a child crawling under smoke, while the other simply lists the rule. Choose whichever version fits your learners best. We colored these together and hung them near our back door as a quick reference.

Fire Safety Knowledge Check Worksheet

This worksheet doubles as a coloring page and review tool. Kids fill in four safety prompts:

Who to call in an emergency
How to prevent fires
What to do if you catch on fire
How to exit safely during a fire

We used it after reading a firefighter-themed story and walking through our home escape plan. It was a fun way to check what my son remembered, and what we needed to go over again.

Crayola crayons in red, yellow, and orange are placed beside the worksheet, and a Crayola crayon box is visible at the top. The background is clean, highlighting the educational content of the worksheet.

Fire Prevention Week Writing Prompts

We’re big fans of creative writing prompts, and these four are great for helping kids reflect on fire safety in their own words. You can use them anytime you’re doing a fire safety unit.

A day in the life of a firefighter
Why is it dangerous to play with fire?
What do you know about smoke and how can you stay safe?
What’s your fire escape plan? Where do you go and what do you do?

The image features two fire safety worksheets. The first worksheet shows illustrations of four firefighters and a Dalmatian dog wearing a firefighter hat, with the prompt "A day in the life of a firefighter." The second worksheet has an illustration of a fire and a fire department shield, with the question, "What is your fire escape plan? What do you do, and where do you go?" A yellow pencil is placed beside the worksheets. Both worksheets have dotted borders and lines for students to write their responses.

We’ve used these during quiet writing time and even acted them out afterward. Adding a toy fire truck or dress-up gear made it even more fun.

Fire Escape Plan Worksheet

This worksheet walks kids through creating a basic fire escape plan. If you haven’t done this with your family yet, now’s the perfect time. Whether you’re at home, in a classroom, or part of a co-op, every child should know what to do if there’s a fire.

We go over our plan every fall, even now that my son is older and stays home alone sometimes. It’s become part of our annual routine, and it’s surprising how many of his friends still don’t have one.

What Is Fire Prevention Week?

This annual observance takes place each October during the week that includes October 9th. It was created to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused widespread devastation.

In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge declared it a national event, making it the longest-running public health campaign in the United States.

It’s a helpful yearly reminder to talk with kids about fire safety at home and school, but honestly, there’s no need to wait until fall to start.

The image shows a variety of fire safety worksheets designed for young children. It includes coloring pages with illustrations of firefighters, fire trucks, and a fire dog. The worksheets feature questions like "What is your fire escape plan?" and "Why is it dangerous to play with fire?" alongside sections for kids to write and draw. The title "FIRE SAFETY" is prominently displayed on one worksheet, with tips like "Stop, Drop, and Roll" and "Dial 911 in an emergency." Bright colors like orange and red are used throughout, with fun, cartoon-style illustrations to engage young learners.

Fire Safety Books for Kids

Pairing these worksheets with a few good read-alouds helped reinforce what we were learning. Here are a few favorites:
