It's important to determine during the drill whether children and others
can readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm. If they fail to
awaken, make sure that someone is assigned to wake them up as part
of the drill and in a real emergency situation.
•
If your home has two floors, every family member (including children)
must be able to escape from the second floor rooms. Escape ladders
can be placed in or near windows to provide an additional escape
route. Review the manufacturer's instructions carefully so you'll be able
to use a safety ladder in an emergency. Practice setting up the ladder
from a first floor window to make sure you can do it correctly and
quickly. Children should only practice with a grown-up, and only from a
first-story window.
Store the ladder near the window, in an easily
accessible location. You don't want to have to search for it during a
fire.
•
Always choose the escape route that is safest – the one with the least
amount of smoke and heat – but be prepared to escape through toxic
smoke if necessary. When you do your fire drill, everyone in the family
should practice crawling low on their hands and knees, one to two feet
above the ground. By keeping your head low, you'll be able to breathe
the "good" air that's closer to the floor.
•
It's important to practice crawling on your hands and knees, not your
bellies, as some poisons produced by smoke are heavier than air and
settle to the floor.
•
Closing doors on your way out slows the spread of fire, giving you
more time to safely escape.
•
In some cases, smoke or fire may prevent you from exiting your home
or apartment building. To prepare for an emergency like this, practice
"sealing yourself in for safety" as part of your home fire escape plan.
Close all doors between you and the fire. Use duct tape or towels to
seal the door cracks and cover air vents to keep smoke from coming
in. If possible, open your windows at the top and bottom so fresh air
can get in.
