FIRE IS FAST
In less than 30 seconds a small flame can turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be engulfed in flames.*Source: https://www.ready.gov/home-fires
DO THE DRILL! HELP KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE WITH THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. CALL THE FAMILY TOGETHER.
Review your fire escape plan with your family. Let everyone know that you are going to practice a fire drill.
2. KNOW YOUR WAY OUT
Explain when the smoke alarm goes off, everyone should quickly and carefully leave the home and go to the outside meeting place.
3. SOUND THE ALARM
Ask everyone to go to a different room and wait for the alarm. Set off the smoke alarm by pushing the test button and observe your family’s actions.
4. REGROUP AND REVIEW
When everyone reassembles at the outside meeting place, ask each person to explain what they did when the alarm went off. Review any questions.
