Make A Fire Escape Plan for Your Harris County Home

3/22/2021 (Permalink)

Did you know that in just TWO minutes a fire can become life-threatening. In five minutes, a residence can be engulfed in flames.

Every moment counts when it comes to house fires. 

Escape plans help you get out of your home quickly. Twice each year, practice your home fire escape plan. Some tips to consider when preparing this plan include:

• Find two ways to get out of each room in the event the primary way is blocked by fire or smoke.
• Make sure that windows are not stuck, screens can be taken out quickly and that security bars can be properly opened.
• Practice feeling your way out of the house in the dark or with your eyes closed.
• Teach children not to hide from firefighters
