Fire Evacuation TIPS

• Have two evacuation routes at opposite ends of your house, as well as an evacuation route from upstairs that doesn’t rely on the main stairs.
• Separate the main egress routes such as stairs and hallways from areas with a higher fire risk, eg kitchen, garage.
• Make sure any deadbolts or security catches are easily opened from the inside (without a key) so that you can escape quickly if need be.
• Always have a fire extinguisher readily accessible.
