Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of 
fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire 
Protection Association: 

1.  Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior 

sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants. 

2.  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 is an alternative route, such as 
through a window, should your normal escape path be 
unpassable.  Station an escape ladder at such windows if 
there is a long drop to the ground. 

3.  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. 

4.  Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep.  

This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you 
escape. 

5.  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 shut if smoke or heat rushes in. 

6.  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. 

7.  Escape quickly; don’t panic. 

8.  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.
