Install smoke alarms and create an escape plan. In case of fire, get out immediately and don't go back inside for any reason. Call 911 from a safe location to alert authorities. Some additional tips include not fighting the fire yourself, stopping-dropping-and-rolling if clothes catch fire, and alerting others in the area. The key steps are to get out safely, call for help, and let the fire department handle extinguishing the flames.

PREVENTION AND
PREPARATION
• Install working smoke alarms.
• Maintain alarms and check their batteries every month.
• Create a family meeting place outside the house in
case of the emergency
• Make an escape plan from every part of the house and
go over it with the family
• Teach kids how to dial 911

3. STEP ONE : GET OUT!
• The most important factor in a fire is
time.
• Fire spreads with incredible speeds
• Getting out has to the be the first
priority in the situation
• Don’t get caught in the flame

4. STEP TWO: DON’T GO BACK
• A majority of deaths occur in fires when
people try to reenter the scene and save
pets or valuables.
• Don’t reenter for any reason until first
responders let you

5. STEP THREE: DON’T FIGHT THE FIRE
• Don’t fight the fire by yourself. The fire station is
there for a reason.
• Very few average homeowners can safely and
successfully fight the flames, and the risk is too
high
• Just because you have a fire extinguisher
doesn’t mean you should use it!

6. STEP FOUR*: STOP, DROP AND ROLL
• If you happen to be on fire or if your clothes
catch fire then follow the rule: stop drop and roll.
• Stop moving, drop to the floor, and roll out the
flames.

7. STEP FIVE: ALERT OTHERS
• Alert any other people in the house of a fire, and
when you reach safety from the flames, call 911.
• Let neighbors know, or any others who may also
been in danger.
• If a person or animal is still in danger, tell the
first responders and they will attempt to help

8. STAY SAFE!
• Follow these steps to stay alive and calm in the
event of a fire.
