10.3 More Tips on How to Face a Fire at Home
If you have made an escape plan and practiced it with your family, their chances of escaping safely are
increased. Go over the following rules with your children when you have fire drills. This will help everyone
remember the rules in a real emergency.
A. Don't panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking clearly and remembering what you
have practiced.
B. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape route. Do not stop to collect anything or to
get dressed.
C. Feel the doors to see if they are hot. If they are not, open them carefully. Do not open a door if it is hot. Use
an alternate escape route.
