Family fire safety plan
A family fire safety plan could save lives in the event of a fire in the home. It is really vital to survival in the event of a fire, that all members of the family know alternate exits, how a fire behaves, and just knows what to do.
When formulating the family fire safety plan, think about possible alternative exits. Explain to your family that smoke rises, if the doorknob’s hot, don’t open the door, and not to think about trying to grab personal effects. Just get out alive. Also, make separate plans for night and day scenarios.
A family fire safety plan is most effective when practiced. Think about different fire scenarios and plan how to exit the house in such an emergency. It might be difficult and scary to talk about with kids, etc., but a plan will save lives and you can’t take the chance that a house fire will never happen to you!
