KFD urges you to make a Fire Escape Plan

Planning can help protect you, your family, and your home when seconds count. Here are a few steps to help‚ keep your family fire safe:

• Check that all smoke alarms are working properly;
• Make a map of your home and mark all windows and doors through which you may escape;
• Choose a meeting place outside the home where firefighters can see you and your family;
• Write the emergency telephone number for your fire department on your escape plan;
• Practice your fire escape drill; and
• Keep your fire escape plan in a common area where everyone can see it, i.e. refrigerator.
