HOME ESCAPE PLAN
 Practice your home escape plan with the whole family twice a year.
Plan 2 ways out of each room. The easy way out is probably the door and the second way out might be a window.
If you plan for a child or a or a senior to exit a window, make sure they can open it easily.
If you can't get out, close your door and go to the window and signal for help. Teach children never to hide under beds or in closets.
If you must go through smoke, crawl low. The coolest, cleanest air will be about 18 inches off the ground.
Have a meeting place outside where everyone will meet. Be able to tell the fire department if everyone is out safely.
Stay out; don't go back into a burning building for anything.
Telephone the fire department from a neighbor's house or use the fire alarm emergency box.
