4.
Practice an escape plan. Because there may
be very little time between detection of a fire
and the time it becomes deadly, it is
important that every member of the family
understand how to quickly evacuate
according to the plan.
5.
Plan both primary and alternate escape
routes. Since stairwells and hallways may be
blocked during a fire, exiting through a
bedroom window must be a part of the
escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the
ground floor, install a means of safely
descending outside the building if one does
not already exist.

6.
As a part of this plan, all family members
should arrange to meet at a location away
from the house (such as a neighbor’s house)
so you will know that everyone is accounted
for.
7.
If it is determined that the alarm was
accidentally sounded, the bell should be
silenced, the detectors reset, and your
security company notified immediately that
there is no emergency situation.
