13. GOOD SAFETY HABITS
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE:
13.1 Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each room.
Second story windows may need a rope or escape ladder.
13.2 Have a family meeting and discuss your plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
13.3 Determine a place outside your home where you can all meet if a fire occurs.
13.4 Familiarise everyone with the sound of the alarm and train them to leave home when they hear it.
13.5 Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice allows you to test your plan before an emergency.
You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do.
14. WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
14.1 Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so do not waste time getting dressed or
picking up valuables.
14.2 In leaving, do not open any inside door without first feeling the surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping
through gaps, do not open that door! Instead use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place
your shoulder against it, open slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
14.3
Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breath shallowly through a wet cloth, if possible.
14.4
Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
14.5
Call the Fire Brigade from your neighbour’s home - not from yours !
14.6
Do not return to your home until the fire officials say that it is safe to do so.
There are situations where alarms may not be effective to protect against fire.
For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as petrol
Further information on fire safety can be obtained from your local Fire Brigade.
15. BCA REQUIRED PROTECTION
Your local council can provide you with information regarding the legal requirement of fire protection equipment
for your home in accordance to the Building Codes of Australia (BCA). Wherever possible, ensure that you aim for
maximum protection by considering the use of additional smoke or heat alarms for increased coverage.
