Nationwide, more than 2,500 people die each year and almost 14,000 people are injured in fires. In the event of a fire, time is of the essence, every second counts! Once a fire starts in a home, there is no time to plan on how to get out. You may have only 1-2 minutes to get out safely. Now is the time to sit down with your family and make a step-by-step plan for escaping a fire in your home. Don't just plan it; practice it at least twice a year with everyone in your home at night and during the daytime.
- Draw a map of each level of the home. Show two ways out of every room.
- Have an outside meeting place like a mailbox, tree, or a rock outcropping.
- Practice your plan to make sure that children and adults react to the smoke alarm and know what to do.
- Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to get out.
- Install smoke alarms inside every sleeping area, in hallways outside of sleeping areas and on every level of your home.
- Test your smoke alarm once a month by pushing the button and hearing the sound.
