Fire Prevention

Every household should have a home fire escape plan and practice it regularly.
It should identify all the exits in your house and the designated location where family members will meet once they are safely outside.

All those who care for your children or stay in your house should be aware of the
home fire escape plan. Show them all the exits and where the telephone and
emergency numbers are located.

Step 1:
Draw your
home floor plan on the grid, marking all the exits.

Step 2:
Get the children involved by asking them
to help identify the two quickest and safest
ways to get out of the house from every
room, including upper floors.

Step 3:
Decide on an outside meeting place,
such as the letterbox.

Step 4:
Practice your home fire escape
plan regularly with the whole family.

Step 5:
Keep the plan handy (on the fridge)
to remind everyone of the safe
exits in case of fire.

There’s lots of things you can do to help safeguard your home and
loved ones from the threat of fire in the home.

Download the home fire safety checklist to find out how you rate when it comes to
home fire safety. If you're unable to answer 'yes' to most of the checklist questions,
then you increase your risk of a fire breaking out in your home.

Keep the checklist on the fridge as a reminder of what you can do to help keep your
home safe.
