Making a Home Fire Escape Plan
Is your family prepared for a fire? Do you think...that will never happen to us? Let me tell you from personal experience it CAN! It happened to me...and I have to admit I was NOT prepared! My passion now is to make sure you and your family are ready in case of a house fire! Be sure to visit my blog for free Monthly Fire Drill Log. Practice keeps a family safe!
When my house was engulfed with flames I didn't make great choices.
I ran around dazed and confused
I thought about saving stuff and not me
I ignored all the things I had learned at some point in my life
Those mistakes could have cost me my life. The only place I was taught about fire safety was in elementary school. My family never reviewed the safety tips at home, therefore when faced with a real fire, nothing was practiced or perfected in my mind.
