When making an Escape Plan

Include everyone who lives in your home, especially children, older people and lodgers
Talk through your plan, including what to do and what not to do in a fire
Tell everyone where the keys are for the doors and windows
Plan the order you would escape in, so that if you have to go out of a window you can help others down.
Practise the plan and remind everyone of what to do and what not to do in a fire regularly
Put your address by the phone so children can read it out to the emergency services
Put a reminder of what to do in a fire somewhere prominent, like on the door of the fridge
