How to Create a Home Fire Escape Plan
An escape plan can save the lives of you and your family — when a fire breaks out you only have two minutes to escape! Your family needs to know exactly how to evacuate and your home needs to have working smoke alarms, so that you can leave the building safely. Learn how to create your own home fire escape plan!
Practice Your Home Fire Escape Plan
Once you’ve created your own home fire escape plan, it’s time to practice your escape. Remember, you only have two minutes to evacuate when a real fire happens, so you should know your plan like the back of your hand. Practice makes perfect!
