A house fire is a very stressful and frightening experience. When disaster strikes, it is difficult to think clearly, that's why it is important to have a disaster plan in place before you are in the thick of the chaos. Here are a few things to prepare and think about to ensure you and your family are ready when disaster strikes!

• Is there a smoke alarm in every sleeping room and outside each sleeping area?
• Is there a smoke alarm on each level of the home, including the basement?
• Do you test your smoke alarms at least once a month? (Have a grown-up push the test button to check if the batteries work.)
• Do you know the sound of your smoke alarms?
• How old are your smoke alarms? (If they’re more than 10 years old, you need new ones.)
• Does your family have a home fire escape plan?
• Do you know two ways out of each room in your home?
• Do you know what to do when you hear your smoke alarm? (Get out and stay out.)
• Are all the exits in your home clear of trash and toys?
• Has your family picked a meeting place outside the home where everyone can go when they’ve escaped a fire?
• Does everyone at home know how to call the fire department once they are outside?
• Do you and all family members practice your escape plan at least twice a year? ?
