FIRE Escape plan

Key points about fire escape plans:

Fast Evacuation: Fires spread rapidly, so having a pre-planned escape route enables people to get out of a building as quickly as possible.

Plan Two Ways Out: A good plan includes identifying two escape routes from each room, allowing for flexibility if one exit is blocked by fire.

Meeting Point: A designated meeting place outside the building ensures everyone can gather safely after evacuating and account for all individuals.

Practice is Key: Regularly practicing the fire escape plan with everyone in the building is essential to ensure everyone knows what to do and can react effectively in a real emergency.

Consider Special Needs: When creating a plan, take into account the needs of people with disabilities who may require additional assistance.
