Fire Safety Information
25
Escape Plan
Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train
them to leave the home when they hear it. 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. Know two ways out of every room (door & window)
and identify a meeting place outside the home where everyone
will gather once they have exited the residence. When two
people have reached the meeting place, one should leave to call
911 while the second person stays to account for additional
family members.
Establish a rule that once you’re out, you never reenter
under any circumstance!
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals
in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide
assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm
sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating
the area unassisted.
Fire Prevention
Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended. Teach
children never to play with matches or lighters!
Train everyone in the home to recognize the alarm pattern, voice
message warning and to leave the home using their escape plan
when it’s heard.
Know how to do “Stop, Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on fire,
and how to crawl low under smoke. Install and maintain fire
extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen,
basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior
to an emergency. Second level and higher occupied rooms with
windows, should have an escape ladder.
