Fire Safety

PLAN A SAFE ESCAPE

FACT – Having a home escape plan in conjunction with a working smoke alarm will greatly increase your chances of getting out safely. Every second counts.

BE PREPARED BY MAKING A PLAN OF ESCAPE

Draw a floor plan of your home, including two ways of escape from each room.
Plan an escape route and ensure everyone knows how to get out.

Blocked exits are a hazard. Keep exits clear.

Keep door and window keys in or next to locks so they can be opened easily.

Decide on a meeting place outside e.g. the letterbox.
Provide alternatives and someone to assist for anyone with a disability.
