Have An Escape Plan
Sit down with your family. Talk about what to do in case of a fire. Organize a step-by-step escape plan.
Know Two Ways Out
Discuss and diagram two ways out from every room, especially bedrooms. Put all the doors, windows, stairs and hallways on the plan. Pick at least one window in each room to be used as an emergency exit.
Pick A Safe Place
To prevent panic, select a place outdoors for everyone to meet. Designate one person to call the fire department from a neighbor's house.
Do Not Go Back
Make sure everyone understands the importance of not going back inside the home. There may not be another chance to get out safely.
Get Out Fast
Exit as quickly as possible. If it's smoky, stay low to the floor as you go. If the door is hot, do not open it, use your alternate route. Once outside, go to the family meeting place.
Practice Your Plan
Practice E.D.I.T.H. twice a year. Hold drills at night with the lights out. Check that everyone is following the escape plan properly. If you move, remember to develop a new plan.
