46 - Friday, August 16, 1991 - North: Shore News HOME & GARDEN Families unprepared | Church planning fun day BAPTIST Church is hosting a community in fire situations FIRE! IN- your home? No, you think. But, what if there were? Would you and your family know what to do? Would you react safely? In 1988, the year for which the most current fire statistics are available, 498 deaths occurred in residential fires in Canada. The primary problem surroun- ding this high home fire death rate is the belief by individuals that they won't have an accidental fire. So when a fire does occur, they are not prepared and react im- properly. Family members should plan their actions ahead, in the event their homes are stricken by a fire. * Install and maintain smoke detectors: at least one cn each level and one outside each bedroom area. © Every occupant should know two ways out of each bedroom: a primary exit (usually the door) and a secondary exit (the win- dow), should the doorway be blocked. © For primary exit escapes, make sure everyone knows to crawl out on their hands and knees below the smoke. Placing a cloth over their nose aad mouth may also reduce smoke inhalation. ¢ Some family members may need assistance escaping such as infants, small children and the el- derly.

They may be stored in a box by the window for quick access. * Determine an outside meeting place. Make sure everyone is fa- miliar with its designation. * Most important: practise the plan! Not only during the day, but also at night. Time the evacuation and evaluate your home fire escape plan. Don’t wait until a fire occurs to find out that a window is stuck shut. e Make sure everyone knows not to attempt to extinguish the fire or grab valuables. * Once all family members are outside at the designated meeting place, an adult should go to a neighbor’s house to telephone the fire department. Memorize your fire department’s emergency tele- phone number 9-1-1. Have it posted on your phones and the neighbor’s phones.
