Have a home escape plan!
- Draw a floor plan of your home
- Include all possible emergency exits
- Show two ways out of every room, if possible.
- Does anyone need help to escape?
- Choose a meeting place outside
- Call the fire department from outside your home
- Practice your escape

Remember:
- Plan two ways out of every room, if possible
- Hold a fire drill twice a year
- Install smoke alarms on every story of your home and outside all sleeping areas
- And check the batteries in your alarms
