HOME FIRE DRILLS

KNOW WHERE TO GO

• Come up with a couple different routes and choose a designated spot to meet

each other near your home that is a safe distance away from the building

TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARMS

• Test your smoke alarm at least every 6 months. It is a good idea to have a combined

smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. ( We already have a combined alarm installed in every apartment)

PRACTICE THE FIRE DRILL

• You’ll want to make sure you can get out within 120 seconds (2 mins) or less! Show any children in the apartment

how to crawl if there is smoke, and how to feel a closed door for heat and how to unlatch a door.
