• Always choose the escape route that is safest – the one with the least
amount of smoke and heat – but be prepared to escape under toxic
smoke if necessary. When you do your fire drill, everyone in the family
should practice getting low and going under the smoke to your exit.
• Closing doors on your way out slows the spread of fire, giving you more
time to safely escape.
• In some cases, smoke or fire may prevent you from exiting your home or
apartment building. To prepare for an emergency like this, practice
"sealing yourself in for safety" as part of your home fire escape plan.
Close all doors between you and the fire. Use duct tape or towels to seal
the door cracks and cover air vents to keep smoke from coming in. If
possible, open your windows at the top and bottom so fresh air can get in.
Call the fire department to report your exact location. Wave a flashlight or
light-colored cloth at the window to let the fire department know where you
are located.
