If there's a phone, call in your exact location to the fire department, even if they are on the scene. Tell children not to hide. Wait at the window and signal with a sheet or flashlight. Imagine the presence of smoke. Have children practice saying the fire department number, the family name, street address, and town into the phone.
Someone sounds the whistle or alarm.
Each person tests his door. Pretend it's hot - use the alternate escape. Everyone meet outdoors for roll call. One person goes to the prearranged phone. Site Design and Layout approved by the Alamance County Website Committee.
