Find at least two ways to escape from each room. One will be the door leading to the normal exit. Another may be a window that opens easily. If the window is far above the ground, you may need to install an escape ladder nearby. Identify a place outdoors where everyone will meet after leaving the building.

2.Review the escape plan with everyone who lives in your home and practice escape procedures.

3.To increase the time you will have to escape a fire, sleep with your bedroom door closed. If you suspect a fire, touch the door. Do not open the door if it feels hot. If it does not, brace your shoulder against the door and open it slowly. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. Leave the building quickly and call the fire department from a neighbor’s telephone or from your cellular telephone.

In the event of a fire, the best way to ensure the safety of your family or employees is to get the earliest possible warning. This is best achieved by installing fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the protected premises. This includes:

A smoke detector installed outside of each bedroom

Heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallways, attic, furnace room, closets, utility and storage rooms, breakroom, basement and garage.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72.
