Do you have a fire escape plan? You need a fire escape plan for home and work. This plan needs to be posted in a visible location. The escape plan for work will be a lot different than the one for your home. Be sure that everyone in the family is aware of the escape plan. Are there family members with special needs that have to be considered? If there are children in the home, make sure you drill this plan with them. Know ahead of time which parent will insure which child is out safely if the fire occurs at night. Children need to know what to do if a parent is not at home when a fire occurs. Teach children to escape first, then call the fire department from a neighbors home. If your home has more than one story, plan for a bottom story fire and how you will escape. Have a safe spot, set away from the home, where your family will plan to meet if a fire does occur. Practice this escape plan with your family. Extended family members staying with your family should be aware of this escape plan. Plan now to escape a fire.
