WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF
A FIRE IN YOUR HOME
•
If you have made a family
escape plan and practiced
it with your family, you have
increased their chances of
escaping safely. Go over the
following rules with your
children each time you have fire
drills. This will help everyone
remember them in case of a
real emergency.
•
Don’t panic, stay calm. Your
safe escape may depend
on thinking clearly and
remembering what you have
practiced.
•
Notify every member in the
residence of the fire.
•
Get out of the house as quickly
as possible. Follow a planned
escape route. Do not stop
to collect anything or to get
dressed.
