        \n

           <\/p>\n

          Home Escape Plan<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Make sure you have working smoke alarms inside and outside of every sleeping area, and<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            on every level. Make sure that everyone in your home knows the sound and understands<\/p>\n

            the warning of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Make a home escape plan by drawing a map of each level of the home, showing all doors<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              and windows. Go to every room to identify two ways out of the room. Make sure all of<\/p>\n

              your windows and doors will open and everyone knows how to remove screens. Practice<\/p>\n

              your plan with everyone in the home at least twice a year.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Have an outside meeting place (something permanent, like a tree, light pole, or mailbox) a<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            invisible killer\u201d. It is created when fossil fuels such as kerosene, gasoline, coal, natural gas,<\/p>\n

                                  A fire can breakout with little or no warning. The more prepared you are, the safer you will be. Smoke<\/p>\n

                                  detectors should be located on every floor of your home and near all places that you and your family<\/p>\n
