CALDWELL & LANGFORD INSURANCE

Plan Ahead! IF a fire breaks out in your home, you may have only a few minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Everyone needs to KNOW what to do and where to go if there is a fire.

SAFETY TIPS

• MAKE a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.

• KNOW at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily.

• HAVE an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should meet.

• PRACTICE your home fire drill at night and during the day with everyone in your home, twice a year.

• PRACTICE using different ways out.

• TEACH children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.

• Close doors behind you as you leave.

IF THE ALARM SOUNDS...

**If the smoke alarm sounds, GET OUT AND STAY OUT.

**Never go back inside for people or pets.

**If you have to escape through smoke, GET LOW AND GO

    under the smoke to your way out.

**CALL the fire department from outside your home.
