Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it
becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be
developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house.
Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the
escape routes from sleeping quarters.
Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior
door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
l Make sure that all border doors and windows are easily opened.
Ensure that they are not painted shut, and that their locking mech-
anisms operate smoothly.
l If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly
or handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This
includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can
promptly hear the fire warning signal.
l If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or
rope should be provided as well as training in its use.
l Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove
snow from exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or
equipment should not block exits.
l Each person should know the predetermined assembly point
where everyone can be accounted for (e.g., across the street or at a
neighbor's house). Once everyone is out of the building, call the
fire department.
l A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or
attempt to fight the fire, and do not gather belongings as this can
waste valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait
for the fire department.
l Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that
should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do.
Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of
people in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s con-
struction.
l Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting
weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact
your installer.
We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request
further information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have
your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety
inspection.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic, it also
moves freely in the air. CO detectors can measure the concentration and
sound a loud alarm before a potentially harmful level is reached. The
human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping
hours; therefore, CO detectors should be located in or as near as possible
to sleeping areas of the home. For maximum protection, a CO alarm
should be located outside primary sleeping areas or on each level of your
home. Figure 5 indicates the suggested locations in the home.
Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:
l Where the temperature may drop below -10ºC or exceed 40ºC
l Near paint thinner fumes
l Within 5 feet (1.5m) of open flame appliances such as furnaces,
stoves and fireplaces
l In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys
l Do not place in close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe;
this will damage the detector
PLEASE REFER TO THE CO DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR SAFETY
