In an emergency, every second counts. Taking a few minutes today to review your evacuation plan can help you react quickly and confidently if a fire occurs.
- Know at least two ways out of your apartment and building.
- Make sure hallways, stairwells, and exits stay clear of personal belongings.
- If a smoke alarm sounds, leave immediately and move to a safe meeting location outside.
- Never use elevators during a fire emergency. Always use the stairs.
- Once you're safely out, stay out and call 911.
Being prepared isn't just about protecting yourself. It helps keep your entire community safer.
