FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME

Most fires occur in the home and to minimize this danger it is recommended that a

household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.

HOUSEHOLD FIRE SAFETY AUDIT

1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed

cords, over-loaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition

of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.

2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated cool

area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.

3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?

4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good

working order? Have a professional evaluation.

FAMILY ESCAPE PLANNING

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes

deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and

rehearsed.

1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.

2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house and since

many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes

from sleeping quarters.

3. It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior

door. Consider the following when making your escape plans:

• Make sure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened.

Ensure that they are are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms

operate smoothly.

• If opening the exit or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or

handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making

sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning

signal.

• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be

provided as well as training in its use.

• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from

exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block

exits.

• The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be

accounted for; for example, across the street or at a neighbour's house.

• Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
