Continued From Page 1 suggests that every family develop and practice a Family Escape Plan. Afire breaks out about every 45 seconds in the United States. The institute notes that your home could become a very strange place in the dark in an emergency unless you’ve had practice in getting out fast. In 1981, fires took 6,823 lives in the U. S., 83 per cent of them in residences, hotels and motels. One near and (tear to us in included in that statistic. Without Luke’s brave act three more of us would not be around to enjoy the good life along the Public Parade. Here’s how to set up a Family Escape Plan: —Sketch the layout of each floor, including windows, doors and stairways. Make sure every family member is familiar with the layout. High-rise apartment dweelers should know the location of exit stairwells and how to get to them as quickly as possible. —Work out TWO escape routes, if possible, for each room and mark them clearly on the sketch. Make sure there are no ob structions blocking escape routes. —Hold fire drills, including some at night, so everyone will know what to do and be able to act in an emergency. —Assign a family member to be responsible for the elderly or very young to help them escape. —Designate a meeting {dace outside the home and instruct everyone to go there in case of fire. —Once outside, count heads, stay together and DO NOT go back into the house for personal belongings. The Institute urges families to install smoke detectors BEFORE a fire strikes. Fire safety officials every year point to victims who might be alive today if they had purchased and installed smoke detectors. For 'maximum protection, smoke detectors should be installed on every floor of a house, including the basement. We didn’t have a Family Escape Plan on West Gale Street. We are preparing one for our new home and encourage you to do the same. AEMC Annual Meeting Is Set Continued From Page 1 George H. Canfield, Jr., and James A. Whitehurst (in cumbent).
