Develop and Practice a Plan of Escape:
• Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the
home and in the basement and garage. Know how to use a
fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at
least two escape routes from each room. Second story
windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,
showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can
meet if a fire occurs.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm
and train them to leave your home when they hear it.
• Teach all household members to touch the door and use an
alternate exit when the door is hot, instruct them not to
open the door if the door is hot.
• Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes and gases.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire
drills at night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm
and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in order to
execute the escape plan. Practice allows all occupants to
test your plan before an emergency. You may not be able to
reach your children. It is important they know what to do.
