Home Escape Plans
Your family's home fire escape plan needs to show:
- All the rooms in your home
- Two ways out of each room
- At least one smoke alarm in or near each sleeping area and on each level of your home
- A meeting place outside the home
- A path from each room to the meeting place
It is recommended to have a fire drill with your family at least two times a year.
