How do I create a home fire escape plan?

Every household should have a fire escape plan and practice it twice a year. Follow these steps to create your plan:

  1. Draw a floor plan of your home showing all rooms, doors, and windows
  2. Mark two escape routes from each room (door and window)
  3. Choose a meeting place outside and away from the home
  4. Teach everyone to test doors for heat before opening
  5. Practice crawling low under smoke
  6. Designate someone to help young children, elderly, or pets

Important: Once you're out, stay out! Never go back inside a burning building. Call 911 from a safe location and let firefighters do the rescue work.

Space Heaters Need Space
Space heaters are involved in roughly one-third of all home heating fires. Keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn — furniture, curtains, bedding, and clothing. Always plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord, and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.
Smoke Alarms Cut Your Risk in Half
Working smoke alarms reduce your risk of dying in a home fire by roughly 50%. Test your alarms monthly, replace batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years. If you hear that chirping sound, change the battery immediately — do not ignore it.
