To ensure your safety in the event of a fire, here are some important steps to follow: 1. Install smoke detectors: Install smoke detectors on every level of your home, particularly inside bedrooms and near the kitchen. Regularly check them to ensure they are functioning properly. 2. Create an escape plan: Make an emergency escape plan for your house, including multiple routes to exit each room. Practice this plan with all members of your household, especially children. 3. Know the emergency number: Dial the emergency number for your country (such as 911 in the United States) as soon as you discover a fire. Provide clear and concise information about the location and size of the fire. 4. Stay low to the ground: If there is smoke, stay low to the ground and crawl to avoid inhaling toxic gases. Smoke rises, and the air closer to the ground will be cleaner.
