Emergency Evacuation Plans

An emergency evacuation plan should be established and used during an

actual fire alarm condition. The following steps are recommended by the

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and can be used as a guide

when establishing a similar plan for your circumstances.

1. Draw a floor plan of your premises showing windows, doors, stairs, and

rooftops, which can be used for escape. An example has been provided

below.

2. Indicate each occupant's escape routes by determining two means of

flight from each room. One should be the normal exit from the building,

while the other may be a window that opens easily, or another alternate

route. An escape ladder may have to be located near an escape

window if there is a long drop to the ground below. Always keep escape

routes free from obstruction.

3. Practice escape procedures and set a meeting place outdoors for a

headcount of the building's occupants.

4. In a home, sleep with the bedroom door closed to increase your escape

time. If a fire is suspected, first test the door for heat. If you think it is

safe, brace your shoulder against the door and open it cautiously. Be

ready to slam the door if smoke and heat rush in.

5. After escaping from a fire, call the Fire Department from a neighbour's

phone.

NOTES:

After the installation of your Security

System has been completed, notify your

local Fire and Police Departments to

give them your name and address for

their records.

Early warning fire detection is best

achieved by the installation of fire

detection devices in all rooms. This

equipment should be installed in

accordance with the National Fire

Protection Association's Standard 72.

For additional information, write to the

National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) at Batterymarch Park,

Quincy, MA 02289.
