In case of fire, it is too late for such consideration!
Although fire in a flat is relatively unlikely in Europe, there are
many causes, e.g. defective electrical devices, amateur electrical
installations and also children playing with fire or forgotten
candles.
Just the modern pre-fabricated type of construction with many
elements of wood is more liable to fire than the conventional stone
construction. The risk which is posed by carpets, wooden ceilings,
wooden floors, furniture, curtains etc. is the same for both
Flames are less dangerous than the poisonous smoke which
arises with a fire.
The best escape plan does not help if other family members do not know
what is to be done in case of a fire.
• Convene a family meeting to discuss the flight plan.
• Explain to each what he has to do in case of a fire or smoke alarm.
• Determine a place outside your house where you can meet after the flight.
In this way you can check easily if someone is missing.
• Familiarise all members of the family with the acoustic signal of the smoke
detector.
• Carry out drill every 6 months for what is to be done in the case of smoke
alarm or fire. Practise using fire extinguishers or rescue blankets.
