Home Escape Fire Plan:
*Make sure you have working smoke alarms inside and outside of every sleeping area, and on every level. Make sure that everyone in your home knows the sound and understands the warning of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond.
*Make a home escape plan by drawing a map of each level of the home, showing all doors and windows. Go to every room to identify two ways out of the room. Make sure all of your windows and doors will open and everyone knows how to remove screens. Practice your plan with everyone in the home at least twice a year.
*Have an outside meeting place a safe distance in front of the home where firefighters will easily find you.
*Make sure your house number can be seen from the street both day and night.
*Please be sure that everyone knows how to call 911 and report fires or emergencies immediately. When you hear a smoke alarm, get outside and stay outside. V. Viruet
