Planning Your Escape Route For When The Smoke Alarms Sound
1. Check room doors for heat or smoke. Do not open a hot
door. Use an alternate escape route. Close doors behind
you as you leave.
2. If smoke is heavy, crawl out, staying close to floor. Take
short breaths, if possible, through a wet cloth or hold your
breath. More people die from smoke inhalation than from
flames.
3. Get out as fast as you can. Do not stop for packing.
Have a prearranged meeting place outside for all family
members. Check everybody is there.
