WHAT TO DO IF SMOKE IS DETECTED

WARNING!

Responding to An Alarm

NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death. If the alarm sounds and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately.

If the alarm sounds and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately.

If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire emergency —cooking smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—use the silence feature to quiet the alarm, then open a nearby window or door and fan the smoke away from the unit. In most cases this will silence the alarm, and once the smoke clears the unit will reset automatically.

•Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan. Your safe escape may depend on thinking clearly and remembering what you have practiced. Get out of the house as quickly as possi- ble. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

•Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is cool, open it slowly.

Don’t open a hot door—use an alternate escape route.

•Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise.

•Keep doors and windows closed, unless you need to escape through them.

•Meet at your planned meeting place out- side your home, and do a head count to make sure everyone got out safely.

•Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.

•Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

Contact your Fire Department for more ideas on making your home safer and on creating your own family escape plan.
