Public Safety

"Practice Your Escape Plan!" — that's the message of Fire Prevention Week 2007. It's not enough just to have a fire escape plan. To escape safely from a home fire you've got to make sure that everyone in the home has practiced the plan as well.

According to a recent poll conducted for NFPA, while the majority of Americans have an escape plan in case of a fire, most haven't practiced it. And three-quarters of Americans believe they have 10 minutes or less until a fire turns deadly.

From October 7-13, fire safety advocates across the country will be spreading the word that when it comes to escape plans, practice is key. Whether you're a firefighter, a teacher or a parent, we've got lots of helpful information to help you help neighbors, friends and family members escape safely in the event of a home fire.
