Fire Safety and Evacuation
Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire
related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in their
sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from burns. To help
reduce this risk, the following program should be implemented.
1. Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in
bed, cleaning with flammable liquids,
leaving children home alone, and using
unsafe holiday decorations are some of
the common causes of household fire.
2. Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose of this
system is to protect lives by giving the earliest possible warning of
danger.
3. A smoke detector (indicated in figure by an inverted “s” in a
circle) should be provided to protect each sleeping area in a home.
4. Practice an escape plan. Because there may be very little time
between detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly, it is
important that every member of the family understand how to
quickly evacuate according to the plan.
Plan both primary and alternate escape
routes. Since stairwells and hallways may
be blocked during a fire, exiting through
a bedroom window must be a part of the
escape plan. If the sleeping area is above
the ground floor, install a means of
safely descending outside the building if
one does not already exist.
As a part of this plan, all family
members should arrange to meet at
a location away from the house
(such as a neighbor’s house) so
you will know that everyone is
accounted for.
If it is determined that the alarm was accidentally sounded, the
bell should be silenced, the detectors reset, and your security
company notified immediately that there is no emergency situation.
