Be A Home Fire Escape Planner

• Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room.
• Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan.
• Write the emergency telephone number for the fire department on your escape plan.
• Have a grown-up sound the smoke alarm and practice your escape plan with everyone living in your home.
• Keep your escape plan on the refrigerator and remind grown-ups to have your family practice the plan twice a year or whenever anyone in your home celebrates a birthday.

 

 Smoke Alarms And Home Fire Escape Planning

• If there is a fire in your home, there will be smoke.
• A smoke alarm will let you know there is a fire.
• A smoke alarm makes a loud noise – beep, beep, beep.
• When the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside.
• Go to your family outside meeting place.
