Do you know how to keep your family safe if you need to escape your home? Use these handy tips to help.
Practice an escape plan from every room in the house.
Ensure that all household members know two ways to escape from every room of your home.
Caution everyone to stay low to the floor when escaping from fire and never open doors that are hot.
Select a location where everyone can meet after escaping the house. After meeting outside, designate one family member to Call 9-1-1 from a neighbors home - do not return inside or attempt to call before exiting. Get out then call for help.
Practice escaping from your home at least twice a year and at different times of the day. Practice waking up to smoke alarms, low crawling and meeting outside. Make sure everyone knows how to call 9-1-1.
Teach household members to STOP, DROP and ROLL if their clothes should catch on fire.
