Fire moves fast. You and your family may have less than two minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds.

Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning. It’s important for everyone to plan and practice a home fire escape. Everyone needs to be prepared in advance, so that they know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Given that every home is different, every home fire escape plan will also be different. Have a plan for everyone in the home.
