Fire Safety Information

Escape Plan

Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train
them to leave the home when they hear it. Practice a fire drill at
least every six months, including fire drills at night. Ensure that
small children hear the alarm and wake when it sounds. They must
wake up in order to execute the escape plan. Practice allows all
occupants to test your plan before an emergency. You may not be
able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do.
Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a
meeting place outside the home where everyone will gather once
they have exited the residence. When two people have reached the
meeting place, one should leave to call 911 while the second
person stays to account for additional family members.

BASEMENT
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those
who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.

Fire Prevention

Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended. Teach
children never to play with matches or lighters!
Train everyone in the home to recognize the alarm pattern,
voice message warning and to leave the home using their
escape plan when it's heard.
Know how to do "Stop, Drop and Roll" if clothes catch on fire,
and how to crawl low under smoke.
