  2. What we will learn today • We will learn about what to do if you ever have a fire in your home

  3. We have already learned that: • We should have at least one smoke alarm on every floor of our house

  4. We also learned that: • If our smoke alarm sounds, we should GET OUT AND STAY OUT!

  5. Every home should have an escape plan in case of a fire Everyone in the home should practice the plan together!

  6. You should know two ways out of every room • If your main exit is blocked by fire, use your second exit • could be a window

  7. Check doors for heat before opening them • use the back of your hand and feel the door and the door knob • if it is warm - do not open it!

  8. If there is smoke, crawl on your hands and knees until you are outside • Smoke and heat rises • stay low where the cooler, cleaner air is

  9. Close doors as you leave your house • Smoke can move very fast through your house • Closing doors shuts off the air supply and helps to slow the smoke • Gives you more time to escape
