Start with detection
Working alarms are the first information source inside the home.
Know household needs
Children, visitors, mobility limitations and pets can affect planning.
Keep exits usable
Normal exit routes should not be blocked by storage or furniture.
Use fire-department guidance
Local fire services and building rules are the right sources for detailed emergency planning.
General prevention information only. In an active emergency, follow local emergency services and official instructions. Do not attempt electrical, structural, fire-suppression, hazardous-chemical or other safety-critical work without appropriate professional competence.
