Escape Plans

The most important aspect of fire safety is getting everyone out quickly and safely.

Plan and Practice Your Escape!

You should plan two ways out of every sleeping room. Create at least two different escape routes and practice them with the entire family. Children are at double the risk of dying in a home fire because they often become scared and confused during fires.

Plan a place for the whole family to meet at once you are out of the house. A mailbox is a good example. Never go back into a fire!

Installing smoke detectors is the first step in a plan to escape.

If you have more than one story, a fire escape ladder is recommended to help you get out alive.
