Experts in emergency preparedness recommend that families practice fire drills at home. Here's what's involved: First, discuss what each family member would do in case of a fire. Make sure that everyone knows the locations of the exits they should use in the event of a fire. Second, make sure that all smoke detectors and fire extinguishers are in working order, and make sure that someone knows how to use them. Third, practice using fire-escape ladders if you will need them. Fourth, establish a place where family members will meet up in the event of a fire. This could be a neighbor's house or other nearby location. Finally, conduct a complete fire drill, exiting the house and using the equipment you'd need in a real fire.
