XXVI. EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS

An emergency evacuation plan should be established for an actual fire alarm condition.
For example, the following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection
Association and can be used as a guide in establishing an evacuation plan for your
building.
Draw up a floor plan of your home. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can
be used for escape. Indicate each occupant's escape routes. Always keep these routes
free from obstruction. Determine two means of escape from each room. One will be the
normal exit from the building. The other may be a window that opens easily. An escape
ladder may have to be located near the window if there is a long drop to the ground
below. Set a meeting place outdoors for a headcount of the building occupants. Practice
escape procedures. In a home, sleep with bedroom door closed; this will increase your
escape time. If you suspect fire, test the door for heat. If you think it is safe, brace your
shoulder against the door and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke
or heat rush in. Practice escaping to the outdoors and meeting in an assigned spot. Call
the Fire Department from a neighbor's phone.
NOTE: After the installation of your Security System has been completed, notify your
local Fire and Police Departments to give them your name and address for their records.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72. For additional information write the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
