Does your Family have a Fire Escape Plan?
Talk to your parent about setting up an Escape Plan and Safe Meeting Place for the whole family.
Fire can be a very scary thing, don't hide from it.
Stay as calm as you can and get out of the building fast.
Crawl on the floor below the smoke.
Check the doorknob to see if it's cool before opening any door.
If the knob is cool, open the door slowly.
Do not try to hide in places that may seem safe. Get to your families "Safe Meeting Place" as soon as you can.
If the doorknob is hot, it means there is fire on the other side of the door.
Do not open the door if the knob is hot.
Stuff blankets or sheets under the door.
If you can't escape safely from your window, wave a cloth out the window and yell as loud as you can.
