Do you know what to do if a fire occurs in your home? Now is the time to sit down with your family and prepare a family fire escape plan.
Here are a few things to consider when preparing your plan: ■Include all family members in the development of your escape plan. ■Determine two ways out of every room in your home. ■Feel all doors before opening. If the door feels normal, open it with caution. ■Crawl low if you encounter smoke or heat conditions. ■Have a specified meeting place outside of your home for all family members. ■ Call 911 from a neighbour’s house or other safe area. ■Do not go back into your home for any reason. Once you are out, stay out! ■Ensure that your house or business number is clearly visible from the street.
