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.
