Municipal OperationsA Message from The Uxbridge Fire DepartmentSurvive a Fire in Your Home...Plan Your Escape Today!Anyone who has lived through a fire will tell you what a terrifyingexperience it is. Unfortunately, many people who experience fire neverget a chance to tell their story - to warn others of the dangers of fire.Your fire department wants you to be prepared if a fire strikes yourhome. Please take a few minutes with your family to make a fireescape plan by following the nine simple instructions listed below.Every household must have a fire escape plan and a working smokealarm to help ensure survival in a fire. Begin your plan by checkingyour smoke alarm to make sure that it is working. The smoke alarmwill wake you up if a fire occurs while you are asleep.1. Draw a floor plan of your homeUse a grid to draw a floor plan of your home, following the exampleprovided as a guide. You should draw a floor plan for each floor ofyour home.2. Include all possible emergency exitsDraw in all walls, doors, windows and stairs. This will show you andyour family all possible escape routes at a glance.3. Include any important features that could help with yourescapeDoors and windows are escape exits from your home. Are there anyother features that could help you get out safely? Can you climb outa window onto the roof of a porch or garage? Is there a tree ortelevision antenna tower that can be safely reached from a window?These features can be extremely useful in an emergency, however youmust make sure that all escape routes are practical and usable.6. Choose a place outside where everyone will meetChoose a meeting place that every one will remember. It is a good ideato choose a spot at the front of your home or close to your neighbour'shouse. Everyone must know to go directly to this meeting place sothey can be accounted for. No one should go back into a burningbuilding for any reason.7. Call the fire department from a neighbour's homeOnce at the meeting place, someone can be sent to the neighbour'shome to call the fire department. Include the neighbour's name andthe fire department phone number (911) on your plan. Mark thestreet address of your home on your fire escape plan, Always keep theFire Departments number by your own phone in case a neighbourneeds to call.8. Make sure everyone is familiar with the home escapeplanGo over the entire plan with everyone. Discuss primary and secondaryescape routes from each bedroom. Ensure that all children know theplan. Walk through the escape routes for each room with the entirefamily. Use this walk-through exercise to check your escape routes,making sure all exits are practical and easy to use.It is important that all windows will open and that no heavy furnitureblocks any escape route. If escape ladders or ropes are to be used, makesure that they area accessible and that the appropriate individual iscapable of using them.9. Practice your escape planAfter reviewing the floor plan with the members of your household,have an actual practice to ensure that everyone knows what to do.Practice your escape plan every six months. In a real fire, you mustreact without hesitation as your escape routes may be quickly blockedby smoke or flames. Your practice drills will ensure that everyoneknows what to do when fire strikes.4. Mark two escape routes from each roomThere is a main exit from every room. This will be the exit to use ifthere is no apparent danger. If you are unable to use the main exitbecause of smoke or fire, you must have an alternate exit. The secondexit is usually the window. Special consideration should be given toplanning escape routes from the bedrooms as most fires occur at rightwhen everyone is sleeping. This second exit must be practical and easyto use. Make sure that the occupant of that bedroom is able to use thesecond exit.If you have any questions or require further information pleasecall the Uxbridge Fire Department at 905-852-3393Remember in the event of an EMERGENCY call 9-1-15. Remember - some people may need help to escapeDecide in advance who will assist the very young, elderly or physicallychallenged members of your household. A few minutes of planningwill save valuable seconds in a real emergency.40 Spring/Summer 2012
