What to Do if There is a Fire in Your Home

• Crawl to the door on your hands and knees. Smoke and gases rise to the ceiling and the air is safer closer to the floor.

• Feel the door before opening it. If it's cool, brace yourself against it and open it carefully. If you notice smoke or heat, close it immediately.

• If the door is hot or smoke comes through it use an alternate exit (a second way out-the window if possible).

• If you can not escape through the window signal for help by waving a sheet or any light colored clothing out the window.

• Upon escaping from the home meet you family in front an away from your home and wait for the fire department.

• Never go back into a burning building-tell firefighters immediately if someone is left in the building.

• Seek medical help for burns and other injuries.
