The Playing With Fire movie in theaters November 8th starring John Cena, was definitely a fun comedy that addressed some very serious issues including themes of responsibility, trust and fire safety.

After being entertained by the movie, I started talking to my kids about fire safety and what they would do in case of a fire emergency. I realized that we were not as prepared as I thought we were. We sat down as a family

We decided to create our very own personalized Fire Emergency kits in metal lunch boxes in case an emergency ever arises. Here is a list of the contents:

  • A recent family photo
  • A printed map of the neighborhood with the family meeting spot and safe places highlighted (local library, local police station, local fire station, nearest public transportation stop)
  • a pair of scissors
  • a Melissa & Doug flashlight
  • a pack of AA and AAA batteries
  • Vermont meat sticks
  • Wild Tuna Albacore pouch
  • Don’t Go Nuts Gorilla Power bar
  • notebook with contact names, addresses and phone numbers of parents, grandparents, friends, family and neighbors
  • a pen
  • a First Aid kit
  • a bottle of water
  • hand sanitizer
  • a phone (this is an old phone that is not on any cellular data service but we use it on wifi & it can still be used to dial 911)
  • charging cords and wall adapter
  • a portable charger
  • cash (bills & quarters)
  • a metrocard
  • an AMEX giftcard
  • a luggage tag filled out with child’s name, address and phone number
