Summer time brings so much joy to children. After a long school year they finally get to relax and unwind. To parents and baby sitters however it leaves free time. A few tips on having children prepared in case of a fire:

• Teach your children what smoke alarms sound like and what to do when they hear one.
  
  
• Ensure that all household members know two ways to escape from each room, and know the family meeting spot outside of your home.
  
  
• Establish a family emergency communications plan and ensure that all household members know who to contact if they cannot find one another.
  
  
• Practice escaping from your house at least twice a year.
  
  
• Make sure everyone knows how to dial 9-1-1.
  
  
• Teach household members how to stop, drop and roll in case their clothes were to catch on fire.
