Emergency Evacuation Plan
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape
in the event of fire. The following steps are
recommended by the National Fire Protection
Association:
• Position your detector or your interior and/or
exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all
occupants.
• Determine two means of escape from each
room. One path of escape should lead to the
door that permits normal exit from the building.
The other may be a window, should your path
be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such
windows if there is a long drop to the ground.
• Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows,
doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used to
escape. Indicate escape routes for each room.
Keep these routes free from obstruction and post
copies of the escape routes in every room.
• Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you
are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from
entering while you escape.
• Try the door. If the door is hot, check your
alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it
cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke
or heat rushes in.
• When smoke is present, crawl on the ground.
Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may
overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.
• Escape quickly; don’t panic.
• Establish a common meeting place outdoors,
away from your house, where everyone can meet
and then take steps to contact the authorities and
account for those missing. Choose someone to
assure that nobody returns to the house — many
die going back.
