Nobody knows when or if a fire will occur in their home. According to the American Red Cross they are currently responding to 10 percent more fires now than in the previous six years. The important thing is to prepare for such a dangerous situation and make certain every member of the household gets out unharmed. In order for this to happen you must have a fire escape plan in your home.
A fire escape plan should begin with a meeting of every member of the household. One of the first things that should be done is for household members to walk through the home and determine the best exits and escape routes. An illustration of the home’s floor plan should be made to illustrate the escape routes. Designated windows and doors utilized for escape need to be identified. It’s vital that every member of the household understand the fire escape plan.
An important item to include in the fire escape plan is an outside meeting place that is a safe distance from the home. This could be the house of a a family member or neighbor. It could also be a common area such as a park or a particular street sign near a home.
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends a fire escape plan be practiced by a family at least two times a year. This will make certain escape routes remain clear. It will also make certain that opening designated doors and windows remains easy
.
It’s also crucial for members of a household to memorize emergency phone numbers as well as the phone numbers of designated friends and family. When a fire occurs there will be a chance that cell phones will be lost in the fire. Memorizing the numbers will provide the ability to call from any phone.
An essential safety feature to prevent fire deaths are smoke alarms. They should be placed in every bedroom and outside the sleeping area in a home. They also should be placed on each level of a house. The smoke alarms can be interconnected. This means when one alarm is activated, all the fire alarms in the home will become active.
