EMERGENCY EVACUATION
Establish and regularly practice aplan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are
recommended by the National Rre Protection Association:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
6.
Position you; detector or your interior and/or esterior sounders so that they can be heard by
all occupants.
Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the
door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window, should your
path be unpassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is along drop to the
ground,
Sketch afloor pan of the buil~ng. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be
used to escape. Indcate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from
obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room.
Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoka
from entering while you escape.
Try the door. If the door is hot, chack your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it
cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door shut if smoka or heat rushes in.
When smoke is present, crawl on tha ground, Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and
may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.
Escape quickly don’t panic.
Establish acommon meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where eve~one can
meet and then take ataps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Chooses
someone to assure that nobody returns to the house —many die going back.
