It’s been a long time since
E.D.I.T.H. stopped by for a visit.
Time to invite her over….
A long lost aunt? No. E.D.I.T.H.
stands for Exit Drills In The Home. Having a planned route of escape could
mean the difference between life and tragedy in the event of a house fire.
Invite E.D.I.T.H. into
your home and answer these questions;
- Put together a fire escape plan for your home - it's easy! Draw a
floor plan of your home. Identify two escape routes for each member of
your household.
- Make sure the exits are not blocked and doors or windows are easily
opened.
- How would you or your children escape from a second floor?
- If you have a family, decide who will be responsible for each child.
- Select one outside meeting place (mailbox, end of driveway,
neighbor's home).
- Make sure everyone in the household knows not to return to the house
for a favorite toy or to search for a pet.
- Ensure every family member fully understands the plan.
- Practice the escape plan during the day and especially at night.
- Remember, leave
the fire, then call 911.
