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.
