Do You Have an Evacuation Plan?

Sunday, 7 June 2009 23:20 by admin
Whether for your home or workplace is it just good sense to have an evacuation plan in case of a fire.  With fire, time is your biggest enemy and every second counts.  In less than 30 seconds a small flame can become a dangerously out of control fire and it only takes a matter of minutes for an entire house to become engulfed in flames.  When planning an evacuation plan make sure to plan two ways out of each room.  Plan a primary route and a secondary route in case the first is blocked in any way.  Never open any doors that are hot to the touch, even if the door is cool open it very cautiously.  If you have to escape through smoke remember to crawl low, under the smoke, and cover your mouth.  Pick a designated meeting place outside that is a safe distance from the building in order to make sure everyone is out safely.
