Escape Plan
Smoke Detector
  • Have at least one working smoke detector per floor
  • Keep one in each sleeping room
  • A working smoke detector can double your chances of survival
  • Check it monthly and keep it free of dust and replace the battery at least once a year

Escape Plan
  • Home escape plans provide for two ways out of each room
  • Practice this plan with your eyes closed
  • Stay low to the ground when escaping from the fire
  • Never open doors that are hot
  • Purchase an approved chain ladder to climb out of rooms above the first floor and practice using it
  • Select a location where everyone can meet after escaping the house
  • Get everyone out quickly and then call for emergency assistance from a neighbor's home
  • Once you get out, stay out
