Advice
THIS ADVICE IS NO SUBSITUTE FOR THE GOVERNMENT FIRE KILLS WEBSITE!
By putting together an escape routeand ENSURING that all occupants, even young children, fully understand, then you will improve the chances of others getting out of the house even if you can't.
It is important to consider a second escape route upstairs in case the stairs are blocked by fire.
Make sure that all fire escape routes are NOT blocked by clutter and that any keys required are found close to the exit and in the same place each time. Make sure EVERYONE knows where they are and that everyone can reach them and know where they unlock!
When you have brought all the elements of your escape plan together, write it up clearly and place it somewhere everyone can find it to refresh their memory.
