WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTED IN YOUR HOME? WOULD YOUR CHILD? IN A FIRE, EVERY SECOND COUNTS. 

TAKE THE TIME TO PLAN AND PREPARE.

• Practice escaping from every room in the house. Hold regular home fire drills. Have two ways to get out of every room in the house. Practice feeling your way out of the house with your eyes closed.
• Immediately leave the home if a fire starts. Don't waste time saving property.  If there's smoke, crawl low under the smoke and keep your mouth covered.
• Never open doors that are hot to the touch. Use the back of your hand to feel a closed door.  If it feels hot, use your secondary escape route.
• Pick a meeting place outside and take attendance. Designate one person to go to a neighbor's and call 9-1-1. Once out, stay out. 
  
• Never go back into a burning building for any reason. If someone is missing, tell the firefighters. They are trained and equipped to perform rescues.
