Electric current could give us terrible burns and stop our hearts. We never play with electrical outlets, cords, or batteries. We never touch metal that could have electricity flowing through it. We keep liquid far from sources of electricity.
Fire can quickly get out of control and destroy a whole house or even a whole neighborhood. We keep fire in places where it goes, like fireplaces, candle holders, and stoves. We do not do things that could let it escape, like throwing our Hanukkah juggling balls near the menorah. Children only use fire if an adult plans and supervises.
