• 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.

• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt

to fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue belongings or pets as this

takes up valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for

the fire department.

• Write the plan down and rehearse frequently, so that should an emergency

arise, everyone will know what they are to do. Revise the plan as

conditions change; for example, when there are more or fewer family

members in the home, or if there are changes to the house.

• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly

tests as noted elsewhere in this manual. If you are unsure about system

operation, contact your installing dealer.

• It is recommended that you contact your local fire department and

request further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If

available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire

safety inspection.
