Home Escape Plan

Plan ahead so you can help keep your family safe in case of a fire. Use the example below and follow these steps to help make your own home escape plan.

• Make sure there is a smoke alarm outside every sleeping area. Draw your smoke alarms on your plan.
• You should have two ways out of each room. Any door or window you plan to use as an exit should open easily. Draw your two ways out.
• Never try to hide from smoke or fire. Have one safe meeting place for your whole family. Mark it on your plan.
• Never return to a burning home once you're out.
• Remember to practice, practice, practice!!!

Parents, practice your home escape plan at least twice each year.
