can count on being in some sort of fire during a lifetime since most will be at home when it happens it really pays to drill the family regularly on how to get out alive go over the entire house with your family finding two ways out of every room particularly every bedroom if one of those escape routes is from a second or third storey window consider investing in a safety ladder settle on one place well away from the house where you will all meet once you get out many lives are lost when people run back into a burning building for someone who has already escaped memorize the fire departments telephone number decide who will be responsible for whom if two children sleep in the same room for example the older can help the younger escape start your drill with everyone in bed behind closed doors if you need to communicate yell to each otherdont run in and out of each others rooms someone sounds the alarm each person rolls out of bed goes to the door and touches it on the first drill pretend the door is cool so you can escape by the most practical route practice crawling as if in smoke head held low to the nearest exit meet in your predetermined place and count heads someone now pretends to go to the neighbours to call the fire department do the drill again this time however pretend that the bedroom doors are hot so they cant be opened practice escaping by the alternate route teach very small children not to hide under beds or in closets in a fire take them to the local fire house to see how fire fighters dress so they wont be frightened during a rescue put the elderly or handicapped in groundfloor rooms as close to an escape route as possible devise two escape plans for them one for when the rest of the family is at home one for when they are alone ask your fire department to help plot the best escape plan rennie transport ltd gormley 8881935 east end service 12264 tenth conc stouffvillb 6405822 fire extinguisher sales service ulc approved smoke
