Practice Your Home Fire Escape Plan for Western Kentucky

4/1/2022 (Permalink)

Creating and practicing a home fire escape plan is simple. Follow the steps below to make sure everyone in your home is prepared and knows what to do in case of a home fire.

  • Make a written home fire escape plan and practice getting out in under 2 minutes.
  • Make sure you have smoke alarms on every level of your home and in each bedroom. Test them twice a year.
  • Learn the best practices for home fire safety and fire safety with children.

Make an escape plan:

  • Learn two ways out of every room in your home, in case one exit is blocked or dangerous to use. A second way out can include an escape ladder for rooms on an upper level.
  • Practice getting low and moving to your exits in case there is smoke.
  • Choose a safe meeting place a safe distance from your home. 
  • Have a home fire drill at least twice a year.

Conduct a Home Fire Drill:

Fires can start anywhere in the home and at any time, so run through the plan at different times of the day or night and practice different ways out.
