Why this matters
Fires spread in minutes, and panic costs lives. Knowing the few right moves in advance means you and your family get out safely.
What you need
A look around your home and a quick family conversation.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.
How to do it
Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.
Know two ways out of each room and keep those exits clear of clutter.
If there is smoke, stay low, feel doors before opening, and never go back inside.
Agree on a meeting point outside and call for help once everyone is clear.
Your one thing today
Walk your home today and identify two clear exits from where you sleep.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Do this one thing now, even if it’s small.
