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.
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.
