Learn Fire Safety Basics
What will you do if there’s a fire in your home?
Have an escape plan.
Talk with your family about an escape plan. You should have two ways out —
a Plan A and a Plan B — in case one way is blocked by fire.
Have a family meeting place.
Decide with your family where to meet outside, away from the fire.
Crawl.
Remember to stay close to the floor when moving. The smoke of
a fire will rise to the ceiling. It will be easier to breathe if you are
close to the floor.
Feel.
Always feel doors before you open them. A hot door means there
may be fire on the other side. Try another way out.
Know how to open windows and doors.
Have a parent or guardian show you how to unlock windows and doors in your home.
IMPORTANT! Get out first.
Stay calm and move quickly. NEVER look for your favorite things. You need to get
out fast! Call 9-1-1 AFTER you get outside.
STAY outside.
Stay outside — no matter
what. NEVER go back into
a burning building!
Practice what to do.
As a family, have a fire
drill. Practice your escape
Plans A and B and know
where to meet outside.
