Abstract
According to the statistics, 27211 fires broke out over the last five years in Ukraine, in which 16756 persons died, including 484 children; 8396 persons were injured, 722 of them children; 19157 persons were rescued, including 1499 children. The statistical data and performed analysis of causes of fire occurrence and their tragic consequences are indicative of low preparedness of children between ages 5 and 10 for actions in case of fires that is reflected in the ignorance of elementary fire safety regulations. Unfortunately, notwithstanding a considerable variety of theoretical materials on fire safety, which younger pupils work with, and their good practical implementation in educational out-of-school activities, the results related to availability of certain fire safety knowledge in children need to be improved. Firstly, it is associated with small amount of hours devoted to Fire Safety elaboration and unavailability to carry out a comprehensive practical training of theoretical knowledge obtained during school lessons and still not worked out teaching method and practice of exact algorithm of correct actions during fire. Secondly, only inconsiderable part of material deals with fire safety issues. Thirdly, in our opinion, there are insufficiently successful works of informative materials related to practice of main safety fire requirements. So, we think that involvement of fire safety experts would encourage freshening up knowledge of fire prevention materials and its successful practice with younger pupils. The collaborative efforts to develop the main text related to fire safety and guidelines for its practical use would be helpful to the first step for planting fire safety culture in younger pupils thanks to self-protection knowledge, abilities and skills in case of fire hazard. As can be seen from the above, we can assert that fire safety preparation of younger pupils does not produce expected results today. So, there is urgent need to refine theoretical materials related to fire safety issues in educational process of younger pupils and application of more efficient forms and methods of educational work with children in the field of fire safety in order to implement them in practice for higher level of pupils' preparedness for self-protection in the presence of fire hazard that is a conceptual basis for further research.
