In 2012 there were around 365,000 house fires in the United States and over 2,000 deaths of civilians.

You can help to reduce the numbers of fires and deaths and injuries by planning in advance.

You should make a plan of your home, ensuring easy escape routes from all parts of the house and make sure that the smoke alarms work properly. If windows have security bars, make sure they have emergency releases for easy escape.

Make sure that a member of the family is assigned to look after infants or elderly personnel or those who are disabled to help them to escape the fire and if you have visitors staying overnight, run through your escape plan with them. Do the same when you go to their houses, ask about their fire escape plan and if they do not have one, then help them to devise one. This is especially important if your children are going for a sleepover, you will want to know they are safe.

Once you leave your house, in the event of a real fire, do not attempt to go back in. Never go into a burning building, but if you think someone is inside then tell the fire department as they are professionals at home fire rescues.
