Having and practicing an escape plan
A fire warning can be wasted unless the personnel planned in advance for a rapid and safe exit
from the building.
Draw a floor plan of the entire building showing two exits from each sleeping area and two
from the building. Since stairwells and hallways can be blocked during a fire, provide exits
from sleeping area windows. Make copies of the plan and practice it with all personnel.
Arrange a meeting place outside and away from the building. Once out of the building, all
occupants should immediately go to the pre-selected location to be accounted for.
Provide a barricade between personnel and fire, smoke, and toxic gases (such as closing all
sleeping area doors before retiring).
Instruct children on opening their bedroom windows and exiting safely from the building. If
exiting is not possible, teach them to stay at the open window and shout for help until it
arrives.
If a fire alarm occurs after retiring, wake the children by shouting to them from behind your
closed door. Tell them to keep their bedroom doors closed.
If the top of your bedroom door is uncomfortably hot, do not open it. There is most likely fire,
intolerable heat, or smoke on the other side. Shout to all family members to keep their
bedroom doors closed and to exit the building by alternate routes.
If the top of the door is not uncomfortably hot, brace the bottom of the door with your foot,
and the top with one hand, then open the door about one inch. Be prepared to slam the door
shut if there is any pressure against the door or if any hot air rushes in.
If there is no evidence of excessive heat or pressure, leave the room and close the door
behind you. Shout appropriate instructions to all family members and immediately leave the
building by the planned routes. If heavy smoke is present, drop to your hands and knees, or
crawl to remain below the smoke level.
