How to Make a Fire Escape Plan for your Family

Creating a fire escape plan is essential to keeping your family safe. Make it a family night to make a plan on paper, and practice it so you'll know exactly what to do in the event of a fire.

      Walk through your home with your children, and look at all possible exits and escape routes.

      Draw on a piece of paper your escape route & include windows & doors in your plan.

      Mark the locations of your smoke detectors.

      Make sure your house number is clearly visible.

      This will make it easier for the fire department to find your house - especially if you're out in the country.
