Create a Home Fire Safety Plan for emergency escape, and practice it regularly.
As part of your plan, ensure that all occupants, including small children, know at least two ways out of each room.
Ensure that all windows or doors are operational and are not painted closed.
Routinely check the alarm system and conduct emergency evacuation drills, especially with children.
In the event of a fire, once you’re out of your house, stay out; do not re-enter the residence or attempt to retrieve personal items; remember "Get out, Stay Out."
Establish a pre-determined meeting place away from the residence, but not across a street, for all family members/occupants to meet in the event of a fire or other emergency evacuation.
The Fire Prevention Bureau instructs school aged children fire safety at school; please go over what they are taught and practice it at home.
