EMERGENCY EVACUATION

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following

steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:

1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders

so that they can be heard by all occupants.

2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of

escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from

the building. The other may be a window, should your path

be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if

there is a long drop to the ground.

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors,

stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate

escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from

obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every

room.

4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep.

This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you

escape.

5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape

route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to

slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in.

6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk

upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is

near the floor.

7. Escape quickly; don't panic.

8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your

house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to

contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose

someone to assure that nobody returns to the house Ñ many

die going back.
