When I was pregnant with my oldest child, and Mr. Lil belonged to the USAF, we had a friend who had gotten involved with a woman who had a 2 year old. They all lived in his grandfather's house. There was a fire in the house due to a gas can too close to a gas hot water heater. They found the little girl behind a mattress in the garage where she had hid from the fire. She was almost too little to learn, but kids need to be taught what to do in case of fire from the time they can. We teach kids to wear safety belts just in case...they should be taught fire safety early on for the same reason. My dad just retired from the fire dept. and he said over and over that kids hide from fires. Yes talking to kids about fire safety can be scary for them but without knowledge on what they can do if the worst occurs, they will most likely make unwise choices based on fear.
