It can take two minutes or less to safely escape a home once a smoke alarm sounds. By creating a fire escape plan, residents can ensure that families are prepared to move outside to safety. Every second counts! A fire escape plan can be created online at IFDSafety.com. In the top menu bar, select Fire Safety Tips, then Home Fire Escape Plans to access templates. Plan outlines can be printed and customized for each family. IFD reminds residents to make sure homes have working smoke alarms. Every room and hallway near a sleeping area should have an alarm, as well as every level of the home. Test alarms monthly to ensure they are working
properly. If a smoke alarm is chirping, the battery needs to be replaced — and the entire alarm should be replaced every 10 years. n
