How do I create a home fire escape plan?

Every household should have a fire escape plan and practice it twice a year. Follow these steps to create your plan:

  1. Draw a floor plan of your home showing all rooms, doors, and windows
  2. Mark two escape routes from each room (door and window)
  3. Choose a meeting place outside and away from the home
  4. Teach everyone to test doors for heat before opening
  5. Practice crawling low under smoke
  6. Designate someone to help young children, elderly, or pets

Important: Once you're out, stay out! Never go back inside a burning building. Call 911 from a safe location and let firefighters do the rescue work.

In communities like Briaroaks, volunteer firefighters train to the same standards as career departments, responding to fires, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, and hazardous materials incidents — all while holding full-time jobs and raising families.
Most Fatal Fires Happen While People Sleep
The majority of fatal home fires occur between 11 PM and 7 AM, when people are asleep and less likely to detect smoke early. This is exactly why working smoke alarms in every bedroom are so important — they are your early warning system when you are most vulnerable.
