Example of mapped out escape plan.

Did you know that if there is a fire in your home a smoke alarm sound will give you less then two minutes to evacuate safely? It is always best to have an escape plan incase of a fire. You should draw a map of each level of your home, and it should include all doors and windows. Everyone in the household should discuss the map to go over escape plan. There should be two plans to escape each room. Make sure to choose a meeting place in front of your house. Take into consideration any abilities that you might need to escape (i.e. cane, eyeglasses and or hearing aid) and place near your bead while sleeping. All doors and windows should be easily to open and should be inspected periodically.  There should be a household fire drill at least twice a year. Once you have gotten out of your home in a fire its best to stay out. Once the fire is extinguished you can call SERVPRO of Thousand Oaks for any of your structure or contents cleaning.
