What To Do If The Alarm Sounds
• Before opening inside doors look for smoke seeping in
around the edges, and feel with the back of your hand.
If the door is hot use your second exit. If you feel it's
safe, open the door very slowly and be prepared to
close immediately if smoke and heat rush in.
• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke,
crawl low under the smoke where the air is clearer.
• Go to your predetermined meeting place. When two
people have arrived one should leave to call 911 from
a neighbor's home, and the other should stay to
perform a head count.
• Do not reenter under any circumstance until fire
officials give the go ahead.
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may
not be effective to protect against fire as stated
in the NFPA Standard 72. For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children unsupervised
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
