What if I wake up and my house is on fire?

Work with parents on a fire escape plan. The plan should include who helps who get out, and where to meet once outside. It is important to have a place where everybody meets so that you will know nobody is left in the house. Practice the plan! Household members with disabilities may need special help. Alert others in the house to the emergency; yell "Fire", bang on doors if you can. Know two ways out of every room; one can be a window if you can open it by yourself. Remember; the lights may not work during a fire. Know how to get out in the dark. Don't stop to take anything or to help pets. Stay low if smoke is present; crawl if you must to stay out of smoke.
