Plan Today For A
Fire Safe Tomorrow
By L. B. HARD AGE
County Ext. Chairman
Everybody takes a new lease
on life when spring rolls
around. And that lease on life
?for you and your family?will
be more certain if you've plan
ned and practiced a family fire
drill.
This Is another kind of Spring
Clean-up action ? cleaning up
any misunderstandings about
what to do if fire should strike
your home. National Fire Pro
tection Association records
show that more than eight of
every ten lives taken by home
fires might have been saved If
people had planned and rehears
ed ways to escape.
So plan and practice today?
for a safer tomorrow.
Here are pointers to help you
plan:
1. Carefully figure out at least
two routes to the outside from
every room in the house, espec
ially bedrooms. Allow for
blocking of stairways or halls
by fire. f
2. Particularly for nighttime
fires, remember that closed
bedroom doors will hold back
flame and smoke, allow extra

time for escape or rescue.
3. For upper floor escape,
use any available porch and gar
age roofs, ladders and trees as
ways dovn to safety. Be sure
exit windows work easily, and
that they are low and large
enough to get through.
4. Pick an outside assembly
point where the family will meet
for a "roll-call" and be sure
everyone knows the rule "once
out ?stay out."
5. Know how to call the fire
department, by street box or
neighbor's phone and do this as
quickly as the house Is clear
of people.
6. Plan who will look out for
infants and the infirm, and how.
Once your plans are made, it
Is important for all the family
-including the children?to
rehearse It carefully and regu
larly.
