Introduction XR150FC/ XR550FC User’s Guide 1
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
event of a Àre or other emergency.
Draw a Àoorplan of your home or business
On a sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and stairs.
Also draw any obstacles, such as large furniture or appliances, a
person may encounter while exiting the building.
Devel p escape r utes
Determine at least two routes the occupantsin each room can take
to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such as the
door. Another can be through a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided. Draw arrows on the Áoorplan to show escape routes from
each room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where
emer gency personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house
or across the street in the front of the house are good locations.
Always perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely
exited. NEVERENTERABURNING BUI LDING. If the head count shows
one or more persons missing, give this information immediately to
the authorities. Never enter a building to look for someone.
Practice y ur escape pla s
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning, before the plan can
be effective everyone should practice the escape routes from each
room.

early. The installation of a Àre alarm system, with smoke and
carbon m onoxide d etectors in each room, can greatly decrease
