Do you have a fire escape plan in your home? Here are some helpful tips on creating one with your family to keep everyone safe in case of a fire.

First you are going to draw up a floor plan of your home. While doing that you are going to label each room and identify each doorway and window. After you have it drawn up and the labels done you want to plan two escape routes from each room. You could make these in red to show they are escapes routes in case of emergency. Now that you have planned on how to get out safely you want to find a safe place outside for everyone to meet. Make sure this location is easy to access to from every side of the home and far enough away that you aren’t in dangers way. A certain light post across the street is a good idea or the neighbor’s mailbox. It is smart to go over this safety plan with your family regularly and have it posted somewhere everyone is going to see it. It’s always best to be prepaid for an emergency that doesn’t happen then to not be prepaid for an emergency happening now.
