Fire Escape plan |
Don't let this happen to you. Be prepared. Start with smoke detectors, check them frequently. Prepare a fire escape plan with your family; practice often. Your fire escape plan should include a diagram of your home, escape routes, a safe meeting place for all family members and alternate escape routes. Not all fires are the same so practice your alternate escape routes.
