Escape Planning

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE
TO GET OUT OF A FIRE?
|
|
Not as much as you think. Real fires are hot, smokey and dark. You may have only a very few minutes to safely escape from fire.
|
|
If you're ever in a fire, don't spend time getting dressed or trying to gather valuables. Just get out and stay out. Then call the fire department from a neighbor's telephone.
|
|
IF YOU HAVE A FIRE TONIGHT
WILL YOU GET OUT SAFELY?
|
|
You'll have a better chance of getting out safely if you've planned ahead. Develop a fire escape plan and practice it with the whole family. Everyone should know two ways out of each room and know where to meet outside.
|
|
Make sure everyone understands that getting out is the first priority. And remember, once you're outside, stay out.
|
|
GET OUT, STAY OUT -
YOUR FIRE SAFE RESPONSE
|
|
What would you do if your home caught on fire? Would you know where to go if smoke or flames blocked your escape?
|
|
There is no time to think about these questions in a real fire. It's hot,
smoky, and so dark you may not be able to see your own hands. Know ahead of time what to do if there's a fire. Develop an escape plan with two ways out of every room. You'll need a second way in case your primary exit is blocked by smoke or flames. And make sure every exit is accessible, including windows.
|
|
Getting out is your first priority in a fire. And once out, stay out!
