Fire Emergency Plan

Every family should have a fire emergency plan.  Does your family have a fire emergency plan?  Here are some questions to get you thinking:
How many smoke detectors do you have installed in your house?
How close are the smoke detectors to where you sleep?
Do the smoke detectors have batteries in them?
Have you tested the smoke detectors yet in 2012? or in May 2012?
Are there two escape routes in each bedroom in your house?
If you have a two or more story house, do you have a fire ladder?
If there was a fire, do your children know whether or not they should trust firemen and firewoman in suits and masks - the people whose specific purpose is to save your child?
If there is an emergency, does your child know that they should get out of the house?
Do you as a family have a meeting place if your house burns down?
Have you practiced your fire emergency plan?
Does your child know whether or not they should go back into the burning house for a pet or toy or other reasons?
Does your child know about smoke and its dangers?

Here are a few other websites to look at concerning fire safety:
