When fire strikes your home, authorities say you may have as little as 1 to 2 minutes to escape. So it is imperative that you have a well rehearsed escape plan which includes each member of the family that is old enough to understand and provides for those that are not. The International Association of Fire Chiefs has recommended the following emergency escape plan procedures in this booklet. Studying and practicing procedures such as these could save your lives! When dealing with a fire, there is no time to gather personal belongings. The time you take trying could make the difference between life and death. So always follow the golden rule of survival in the event of a fire, and GET OUT IMMEDIATELY!
Consider the following statistics:
- Home fires are the fifth leading unintentional cause of injury and death in the United States.
- Home fires rank as the first cause of death for children under the age of 15 at home.
- Roughly 80 percent of all fire deaths occur where people sleep, such as in homes, dormitories, barracks, or hotels. The majority of fatal fires occur when people are likely to be less alert, such as nighttime sleeping hours.
- Two of every five fires that kill young children are started by children playing with fire.
- Approximately 900 older adults die in fires annually.
