As part of your plan, all family members should know and/or practice:
1. The two quickest ways out of each room
2. How to exit from upstairs, for homes with a second story. A rope or chain may be required.
3. An agreed upon meeting place outside, such as the letterbox
4. The sound of the smoke alarm and practice leaving your home when they hear it.
5. A re drill at least every six months including drills at nights. Practice allows you to test your plan
before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children.
It is important that they know what to do!
DEVELOP AN ESCAPE PLAN
1. Alert any small children and elderly persons
2. Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting
dressed or picking up valuables.
3. In leaving, don’t open any inside door without rst feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke
seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If inside door is cool,
place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and
smoke rush in.
4. Stay close to the oor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a wet cloth if possible.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
6. Call the Fire Brigade on 000.
7. Don’t return to your home until ofcials say that it is safe to do so. For further information on re
safety contact your local Fire Brigade.
