Do You Know What to Do In a House Fire?
Make sure to test the door to see if it’s hot. If the door is open and preventing you from exiting the room, close it immediately and find an alternative exit.
If there is a lot of smoke and it’s banked up towards the ceiling area, stay lower to the ground. Most victims of fires die from smoke or toxic gases. Protect yourself from smoke inhalation with a T-shirt or rag. Smoke inhalation causes people to become disoriented.
If you have a two-story home, have an escape ladder that you can throw out in case of a fire.
