FIRE PROTECTION
Preparing a Fire Escape Plan
Even with the most advanced fire
alarm system, adequate protection
requires an escape plan.
To prepare your plan, draw floor
plans of your building. (Space is
provided on the next page.) Show
two exits - a front or back door
and a window from each room.
(Make sure the window works.
You may need a special fire-
escape ladder if the window is
high up.) Write down your outside
meeting place.
Family Rehearsal.
Rehearse each of the following
activities:
1 Everyone in his room with the doors
closed.
2 One person sounds the alarm.
3 Each person tests his door.
4 Pretend the door is hot and use the
alternate escape exit.
5 Everyone meets outdoors
at the assigned spot.
Important! - Read Carefully
1 Discuss these escape procedures
with all those who use the building:
In a residence, sleep with the
bedroom door closed. A closed door
will hold back deadly smoke while
you escape.
2 When the fire alarm signals, escape
quickly. Do not stop to pack.
3 Test the door. If it is hot, use your
alternate route through the window.
If the door is cool, brace your
shoulder against it and open it
cautiously. Be ready to slam the
door if smoke or heat rushes in.
Crawl through smoke, holding your
breath. Close the doors again on
leaving to help prevent the fire from
spreading.
4 Go to your specific outdoor meeting
place so you can see that everyone
is safe.
5 Assign someone to make sure
nobody returns to the burning
building.
6 Call the Fire Department from a
neighbor's telephone.
