Know ahead of time what to do if there's a fire. Develop an escape plan with two ways out of every room. You'll need a second way in case smoke or flames block your primary exit. And make sure every exit is accessible, including windows. Getting out is your first priority in a fire.
Real fires are hot, smoky and dark.
You may have only a very few minutes to safely escape from a fire. If you're ever in a fire, don't spend time getting dressed or trying to gather valuables. Just get out and stay out. Then call the fire department from a neighbor's telephone. Make sure everyone in your home know where to find it and how and when to use the items in it.
