> Smoke detectors are installed in various locations of your housing
unit. You check their batteries regularly. Also, you keep an operable
fire extinguisher in the kitchen. You never smoke in bed or when drowsy.
But are you completely protected against home fires? HARDLY.
>
> In spite of your precautions, still a fire can occur. Smoke detectors
may wake you up and warn you that a fire has started, but it cannot get
you and your family out of the house safely. This you must do yourself
-- and it is not as easy as it seems.
>
> Your home can be a confusing place during a fire. You may be probably
groggy when the alarm goes off. The room might be filled with so much
smoke that you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Also, the
panic that accompanies a fire can disorient you. Fire officials report
that people who live in one house for decades still try to open a door
the wrong way during a fire.
>
> A vital step in preventing fire deaths is to plan and practice your
escape. You should talk with your family and decide, step by step, what
to do if fire occurs. Every family member should plan at least two ways
out of his or her bedroom - usually the door and a window. It is
especially important to show young children an escape route, as youngsters
have a tendency during a fire to " hide" in closets or under the bed.
Once escape routes are identified, you and your family members should
physically practice using them and make drills as often as possible.
