PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY
If the smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, and you have not
pushed the test button, it is warning of a dangerous situation.
Your immediate response is necessary. To prepare for such
occurrences, develop family escape plans, discuss them with
ALL household members, and practice them regularly.
•
Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and explain
what the sound means.
•
Determine TWO exits from each room and an escape route to
the outside from each exit.
•
Teach all household members to touch the door and use an
alternate exit if the door is hot. INSTRUCT THEM NOT TO
OPEN THE DOOR IF THE DOOR IS HOT.
•
Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.
•
Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the building.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE
1. Don’t panic; stay calm.
2. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors to
feel if they are hot before opening them. Use an alternate
exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor, and DO NOT stop
to collect anything.
3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the build-
ing.
4. Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.
5. DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE A BURNING BUILDING. Wait for
the fire department to arrive.
These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire. However, to
reduce the chance that fires will start, practice fire safety rules
and prevent hazardous situations.
