When you are in your senior years, you may have been spending quite a lot of time indoors and watching TV at home. But, are you prepared in case of emergencies like fire?

Here are some suggestions to prepare for a fire emergency.

1. Sleep with the door closed and teach children to feel the door for heat before opening.

2. Always make sure that there is an escape route for each area of the home and decide on a meeting point outside the home.

3. Make sure that there is a map that is easy to read.

4. Tell the kids not to hide during fire and explain that they must not be scared of firemen.

5. Teach the kids to drop down and crawl beneath the smoke to escape the home.

6. Make sure that everyone knows how to use an escape ladder.

7. Tell everyone that once they are out, they must not go back in to the burning building.
