There are many fire safety tips that will assist you to prepare for the worst, however the first one requires some serious thought, and that is to create an escape plan.
Don’t forget, an escape plan has to be “owned” by all that could be affected, so ensure everyone is aware of your escape plan and know what their role is at the time. The rapid spread of fire can be quite frightening, so you can be better equipped to deal with this if you have plans in place.
We’ve all seen the cute fire prevention advertisements on TV that are a great way to introduce children to fire safety, however fire safety applies to everyone, not just children.
