Fire Prevention Week
October 7 -13, 2012
Take a moment with your family and go over your fire escape plan. Everyone should know two ways out of every room that you sleep in. If you are startled awake by the smoke detector in the middle of the night, will you be able to get out before the smoke and fire get to you. Time is short when there is a fire in your home.
Practice with your fire escape plan with your family:
Know two ways out of every room.
What does the smoke detector sound like?
Where is your meeting spot for the family to meet?
How would you call 911 once you are out of your house?
