Smoke alarms are important.

Smoke alarms will let you know if

there is a fire in your home.

Does your home have smoke alarms:

❑ on every level
❑ inside each bedroom,
❑ outside each sleeping area?
Know the sound of the smoke alarm.

It will make a loud “beep, beep,

beep” if there is smoke.
Test smoke alarms every month.

Ask a grown-up to push the

test button to make sure
each alarm is working.
 Plan and practice a home fire drill.

A home fire drill is a time for a

family to practice their home
fire escape plan.

This is a plan to get out of the

home quickly in case there is a
fire.
 Have 2 ways out of every room.

Every room in the home

needs 2 ways out.

One way out would be the

door and the second way out
might be another door or a
window.
 Know what to do when
the smoke alarm sounds.
When the smoke alarm sounds
get outside and stay outside.

Go to your outside family

meeting place (like a tree, or
a lamp post).
Calling 9-1-1 from outside.

Call the fire department from

outside the home using a mobile
or neighbor’s phone.

Once you are outside, stay

outside until the fire department
tells you it is safe to go back
inside.
Calling from a mobile phone.
1. Describe the emergency
2. Tell them your name
3. Tell them your phone number
