Putting a plan in place in the case of a fire could save your life.

Even though the flames may look contained to one area, the smoke is spreading quickly.

A fire is spreading quickly, what do you do? Easier said than done, try and remain as calm as possible so you can think with logic. Panic could lead you with an undesirable outcome.

~Every room should have an escape plan. Know your way out! Once the fire starts the room can fill up quickly with smoke making it difficult to see and breathe.

~CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!

~GET OUT BEFORE IT SPREADS! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE BELONGINGS WITH YOU!

~Check the doors! DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR FIRST! IF YOU SEE SMOKE OR FEEL THE HEAT COMING THROUGH, FIND ANOTHER WAY OUT LIKE A WINDOW IF IT IS AVAILABLE.

~IF YOU DO NOT SEE SIGNS OF THE FIRE BEING CLOSE, FEEL THE DOOR-KNOB CAREFULLY,  IF IT IS WARM, FIND ANOTHER WAY OUT!

~IF THE DOOR-KNOB HAS NO SIGNS OF WARMTH, SLOWLY OPEN THE DOOR, ( IF YOU FEEL A WAVE OF HEAT COMING TOWARDS YOU CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN!) IF NOT, PROCEED WITH YOUR EXIT PLAN!

~STAY LOW! This helps with smoke intake. NEVER HIDE UNDER A BED.

~YOUR BEST ALTERNATIVE IS A WINDOW IF YOU CAN’T GO OUT OF A DOOR.
