CAMPING
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS:
•
Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don't
waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
•
In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot,
or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead
use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder
against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke
rush in.
•
Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth,
wet if possible.
•
Once outside go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone
is there.
•
Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from yours!
•
Don't return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do
so.
There are situations where a smoke detector may not be effective to protect against
fire as stated in the NFPA standards 72.
For instance:
a) Smoking in bed;
b) Leaving children home alone.
c) Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.
Further information on fire safety can be obtained in a pamphlet titled “IN A FIRE
SECONDS COUNT” published by the NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Mass. 02269.
