🔥 IF A FIRE STARTED TONIGHT, WOULD EVERYONE KNOW WHAT TO DO?

🔥

A smoke alarm can warn you about a fire.

An escape plan tells you what happens next.

Every family should have a home fire escape plan — and everyone in the house should know it.

🚪 Know at least two ways out when possible.

🪟 Make sure doors and windows used for escape open easily and aren’t blocked.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Make sure children understand the plan.

♿ Consider anyone who may need assistance getting outside.

📍 Pick a permanent meeting place outside — a mailbox, tree, driveway entrance, or another safe location away from the house.

And most importantly:

GET OUT. STAY OUT.

Once you’re safely outside, don’t go back into a burning building for belongings, pets, or anything else. Call 911 and tell arriving firefighters if someone or something may still be inside.

You don’t want the first time your family practices your escape plan to be when the house is filling with smoke.

Practice it before you need it.
