Prevention 52: Fire Preparedness

Plan ahead! If a fire breaks out in your home or workplace, you may have only a few minutes to get out safely. Everyone needs to know what to do and where to go if there is a fire. Also consider the special considerations when you have visitors/guests that are unfamiliar with your home or facility, places where large groups of people gather, and the challenges that people with disabilities or other limitations such as the elderly or very young might have trying to escape in an emergency.
