Your Home Fire Safety Checklist/Fire Plan:
Make sure all family members know what to do in the event of a fire.
Draw a floor plan with at least two ways of escaping every room. Make a drawing for each floor. Make sure the plan shows important details: stairs, hallways and windows that can be used as fire escape routes. Test windows and doors—do they open easy enough? Are they wide enough? Or tall enough?
Choose a safe meeting place outside the house.Practice alerting other members.
