PAGE 31
Section 6: Fire Safety 6.3 Household Fire Safety Audit Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, a household fire safety audit should be conducted and a fire escape plan should be developed and practised. 1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluate these units. 2.
PAGE 32
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department. • Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people on the premises, or if there are changes to the building’s construction.
