Stay calm and remember you are not alone. God is your helper and He is with you. The Bible says in John 14:26, "But the counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father, will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." God will bring to your mind those things you need to remember in a crisis.
You are in charge and He knows you can handle it!
When it is a real emergency like a fire or burglar, don't hesitate to call 9-1-1. You and the children need to get out of danger fast, then call the parents once you are safe.
Don't try to put the flames out yourself. Instead, make a fast getaway with the kids to the nearest exit. Don't go back into a house for any reason. Run to a neighbor's house to call 9-1-1, then the parents to let them know.
Remember, stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire. Smother flames by rolling on the floor in a rug or blanket.

Try running cool water over a burn for 10 minutes. Do not bandage or use any ointment on it. If the burn starts to blister and look bad, call
9-1-1 and the parent.
