Exit Drills in the Home

Every family should have an escape route planned for their home in case of a fire or other emergency.  Some important points to remember when making a plan include:

• Know two(2) ways out of every room in the house in case one is blocked by fire or another hazard.

• Designate a safe meeting place outside.

• If your house does catch fire, call 911 after you are safe outside, from a neighbor or a pay telephone.

• Never go back into a burning building!

• Practice, Practice, Practice.
