Fezzy:

Hi there, my amazing friends. It's me, Fezzy, from Shriners Children's and I hope you've seen all my videos on how to stay safe in the kitchen, the bathroom, and around flammable contents like gasoline. It's important to know that if an emergency does occur, you and your family have a fire escape plan.

[Slide 2]

Develop a home fire escape plan. Making a plan before a fire occurs can be life-saving. Use a sticker sheet to map out your home and draw key exits and rooms as needed with pencil. Mark TWO EXITS from each room (windows or doors). Set a designated MEETING PLACE at a safe distance outside your home. PRACTICE YOUR PLAN TOGETHER. Be Burn Aware. Learn even more at BeBurnAware.org.

Talk as a family to identify two exits from each room and decide on a designated meeting place outside at a safe distance from the home, and practice the plan. And here's a few tips for added safety. It's recommended that you have a fire extinguisher at home that's easily accessible in the kitchen and to check its expiration date. And it's a great idea to know where your home's smoke detectors are located. If they ever set off or if you smell smoke or see fire, you should leave the house.

First, get to safety and then call 9-1-1 or tell an adult in an emergency.
