Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders sothat they can be heard by all occupants.2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path ofescape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from thebuilding. The other may be a window, should your path beimpassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is along drop to the ground.3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairsand rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes foreach room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and postcopies of the escape routes in every room.4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. Thiswill prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the doorif smoke or heat rushes in.6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walkupright. Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is nearthe floor.7. Escape quickly; don't panic.8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from yourhouse, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contactthe authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone toassure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.
