Practice staying calm and providing the correct information.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure everyone understands to get out of the house immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Determine the closest exit route for each room.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss and review alternate escape routes in all rooms.<\/li>\n<li>Determine a meeting place outside the home.<\/li>\n<li>Install an adequate amount of smoke detectors and regularly test them.<\/li>\n<li>Allow everyone to hear the sound of the smoke detector alarm to familiarize them with the sound.<\/li>\n<li>Practice the plan: set off the smoke detector and have everyone practice their escape routes.<\/li>\n<li>Determine how often your family will review and practice the plan. Semi-annual practice is recommended.<\/li>\n<li>Install fire department window identifiers for children&#8217;s rooms.<\/li>\n<li>Install approved type ABC fire extinguishers on every floor of the house and educate everyone on the proper operation.<\/li>\n<li>Locked doors can be tough to unlock in a smoke-filled room. Be sure to install door locks that can be easily unlocked in an emergency. Doors that require a key to exit may be trouble during a fire.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure each member of the family practices unlocking the door.<\/li>\n<li>Stay low: heat and smoke rise to the top of the room.<\/li>\n<li>Learn and practice the stop, drop, and roll method.<\/li>\n<li>For multi-story homes, a fire escape chain or rope ladder is recommended with sufficient training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep adding to your Home Safety Plan and practice it often!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following are recommendations for developing a Home Safety Plan.
