Do you have an escape plan?  Be sure the whole family knows it and have a meeting place outside. Remember, get out and stay out to stay alive!! There is nothing worth going back into a burning building for. That's OUR job!!

Does your town have 911? If not do you have emergency numbers posted?  Post EMERGENCY numbers in red ink on the refrigerator or near the phone. Be prepared to tell the dispatcher your address and cross streets and the town you are in, (Cell Phones don't always trigger the 911 system correctly) return phone number and the nature of your emergency.
