PLANNING YOUR ESCAPE

Since you selected HOUSE, keep the following in mind:

PLAN YOUR ESCAPE:

Draw a map of your home, mark all exits (windows and doors).

KNOW 2 WAYS OUT:

Know two ways out of every room. Have escape ladders in upstairs rooms.

IS THE DOOR HOT? DON'T OPEN:

If the door is warm, find another way out.

SMOKE? GET LOW:

Crouch or crawl to avoid smoke.

ACCOUNT FOR EVERYONE:

Know who will assist children, pets and those with mobility issues.

PREPARE THE KIDS:

Educate for an independent escape.

PRACTICE OFTEN!

2 times per year, 2 times of the day (daytime and nighttime).

GET OUTSIDE, STAY OUTSIDE:

Close doors behind you. Never re-enter a burning building.

MEET OUTSIDE:

Pick a safe spot away from the home to meet after escaping.

CALL 9-1-1:

Call emergency services from outside the home.

Fire safety information sourced from the National Fire Protection Association.

Start from any point in your home; press “I ESCAPED” once you have exited your home. Head to your pre-arranged meet-up spot.

Be aware of your surroundings and safely navigate your escape. Remember, this is just a drill.

Fire safety is important for the whole family. Practice your drills with all household members, including pets!
