DESCRIPTION:In the event of a fire\, remember that every second counts\, so
  you and your family must always be prepared. Escape plans help you get ou
 t of your home quickly. In less than 30 seconds\, a small flame can get co
 mpletely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes 
 for a house to fill with thick black smoke and become engulfed in flames.
 \n\nPrepare and practice your fire escape plan twice a year with everyone 
 in your household\, including children and people with disabilities.  It's
  also a good idea to practice your plan with overnight guests. Some tips t
 o consider when preparing your escape plan include:\n\n	Draw a map of each
  level of your home and show all doors and windows. Find two ways to get o
 ut of each room. Make sure all doors and windows that lead outside open ea
 sily.\n	Only purchase collapsible escape ladders evaluated by a recognized
  testing laboratory. Use the ladder only in a real emergency.\n	Teach chil
 dren how to escape on their own in case you cannot help them.\n	Have a pla
 n for everyone in your home who has a disability.\n	Practice your fire esc
 ape plan at night and during the daytime.\nSecurity Bars Require Special P
 recautions\nSecurity bars may help to keep your family safe from intruders
 \, but they can also trap you inside in the event of a deadly fire! Window
 s and doors with security bars must have quick release devices to allow th
 em to be opened immediately in an emergency. Make sure everyone in the fam
 ily understands and practices how to properly operate and open locked or b
 arred doors and windows.\nImmediately Leave the Home\nWhen a fire occurs\,
  get out fast: you may only have seconds to escape safely. Take the safest
  exit route\, but if you must escape through smoke\, remember to crawl low
 \, under the smoke and keep your mouth covered. The smoke contains toxic g
 ases\, which can disorient you or\, at worst\, overcome you.\nNever Open D
 oors that are Hot to the Touch\nWhen you come to a closed door\, feel the 
 doorknob and door to make sure that fire is not on the other side. If eith
 er is hot\, leave the door closed and use your secondary escape route. If 
 the door feels cool\, open it slowly. Be ready to shut it quickly if heavy
  smoke or fire is present.\n\nIf you can't get out\, close the door and co
 ver vents and cracks around doors to keep the smoke out. Call 9-1-1 or you
 r local emergency number. Say where you are and signal for help at the win
 dow with a light-colored cloth or a flashlight.\nDesignate a Meeting Place
  Outside and Take Attendance\nDesignate a meeting location a safe distance
  in front of your home. For example\, meet under a specific tree or at the
  end of the driveway or front sidewalk to make sure everyone has gotten ou
 t safely and no one will be hurt looking for someone who is already safe. 
 Make sure everyone in your home knows how to call 9-1-1 or your local emer
 gency number and that your house number can be seen day or night from the 
 street.\nOnce Out\, Stay Out\nRemember to escape first and then notify the
  fire department using the 9-1-1 system or proper local emergency number i
 n your area. Never go back into a burning building for any reason. Teach c
 hildren not to hide from firefighters. If someone is missing\, or pets are
  trapped inside your home\, tell the firefighters right away. They are equ
 ipped to perform rescues safely.\nHow Fire-Safe Is Your Home?\nYou won’t
  know until you do a fire safety walkthrough.\nConduct a fire safety walkt
 hrough of your home on a regular basis. Use the following tips to help you
  in your walkthrough:\n\n	Keep clothes\, blankets\, curtains\, towels\, an
 d other items that can easily catch on fire at least three feet from space
  heaters and away from stove burners.\n	Place space heaters where they wil
 l not tip over easily.\n	Have chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by
  a professional.\n	Always use a metal mesh screen with fireplaces and leav
 e glass doors open while burning a fire.\n	Never leave cooking unattended.
 \n	Be sure your stove and small appliances are off before going to bed.\n	
 Check for worn wires and do not run cords under rugs or furniture.\n	Never
  overload electrical sockets.\n	Keep lighters and matches out of the reach
  of children.\n	Never leave cigarettes unattended and never smoke in bed.
 \n	Make sure cigarettes and ashes are out. The cigarette needs to be compl
 etely stubbed out in the ashtray or run under water.\n\n\n
