HELP YOUR FAMILY MAKE AN ESCAPE PLAN

1. Try to find two ways out from every room in your home. The first way out should be a door. Every way needs to be planned and practiced with grown-ups.
2. Before opening any door in a fire, feel the door first at the bottom and then work your hand up the door to see if it is hot. A hot door means there may be fire on the other side. Try to get out another way.
3. Stay low to the floor when escaping a fire.
4. If you have security bars in your home, make sure you know how to open them in case you need to escape from a fire.
5. Pick a safe and easy-to-remember place outside the home to meet your family after you get out.
6. After you get out, call 9-1-1 or the fire department.
7. Stay outside no matter what. Don't go back for anything!
