Preparing For A Fire

10/3/2019 (Permalink)

In preparing for a fire, you need to draw a map of each level of your home or business and show all the doors and all the windows.  Find two ways to get out of each room.  Make sure all doors and windows that lead outside open easily.  Consider escape ladders for sleeping areas on the second and third floors.  Only purchase collapsible escape ladders evaluated by a recognized testing laboratory.  Store them near the window where they will be used.  Choose an outside meeting place a safe distance in front of your home where everyone can meet after they've escaped. Make sure to mark the location of the meeting area on your escape plan.  Teach children how to escape on their own in case you cannot help them.  Plan for everyone in your home or office, with special considerations for the elderly or disabled individuals.  SERVPRO of High Point wants you to stay safe, informed, and prepared to help ensure you are ready for any disaster that comes your way.
