Hi, I'm Katie Cullum the White County Family Consumer Science teacher.

Today, we're going to be talking about fire safety. You can download this publication from our website, too, and it's got lots of great tips.

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:22,290
Do you have an escape plan? You may want to draw one out and have two routes of escape from each room.

4
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:27,210
One thing to keep in mind is to go low because smoke rises.

5
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:34,300
And so you want to stay low and go and get out of the house as fast as possible through the doors.

6
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:45,210
But there may also be windows that you need to exit from to make sure that kids especially can get out of those windows, decide where you want to go.

7
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:52,290
Once you get outside, you need to have a safe place for your family to meet once you all get outside.

8
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:58,860
And it needs to be somewhere close to the front door so firefighters will know that everybody is out of the house.

9
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:04,590
And also, even if there's a fire, you don't have much time.

10
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:11,160
So you need to practice your escape plan and do fire drills and what we call two minute drills.

11
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:18,621
If you can get everybody out of your house within two minutes, then chances are you'll be safe.
