PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY
If the smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, and you have not
pushed the test button, it is warning of a dangerous situation.
Your immediate response is necessary. To prepare for such
occurrences, develop family escape plans, discuss them with
ALL household members, and practice them regularly.
10.1 Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and
explain what the sound means.
10.2 Determine TWO exits from each room and an escape route
to the outside from each exit.
10.3 Teach all household members to touch the door and use an
alternate exit if the door is hot. INSTRUCT THEM NOT TO
OPEN THE DOOR IF THE DOOR IS HOT.
10.4 Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.
10.5 Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the
building.
