Creating a home fire escape plan
- Draw an outline of your home on a sheet of paper.
Draw a separate outline for each floor.
- Identify and draw two escape routes from each room
where any family members spend time, especially sleeping
rooms.
- Identify a meeting place outside the home in case
of fire and make sure each family member knows where
to go after he or she gets out of your home.
- Designate who should call the fire department and
from what location. Leave the burning building first
and then call from a nearby phone.
- Practice the plan to make sure that it works and that
each family member knows what to do.
- Practice the plan on a regular basis.
