Public Safety

Having—and practicing—a home fire escape plan will protect your family and increase the odds of surviving a fire.

Make a Plan

  • Draw a floor plan of your home to showing two exits from every room.
  • Leave the house immediately if you hear the smoke alarm going off or hear someone shouting "fire!"
  • Set up a meeting place outside your home in case of fire.
  • Make sure someone calls the fire department once they have escaped from the building.
  • Make certain no one re-enters the burning building. Firefighters are specially trained and equipped to perform rescue operations.
  • Print your Home Escape Plan template.
