For a home or apartment, you should have at the very least, one smoke detector on each floor.
Every home and apartment should have an escape plan.
This is a plan that is drawn up, reviewed and actually practiced by each member of a given household.
Every room should have two routes to safety; first would be a door, second would either be a door in an opposing direction or a window.
If you live in a high rise building, never use the elevator; always use the stairs.
There should be an agreed upon area for all members to meet to be sure that all people are out safely.
If a member is missing, advise a Public Safety Officer immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ENTER A BURNING HOUSE!
As you leave the building, try to shut doors and windows behind you to hinder the advance of flames.
If you must exit through smoke, stay low to the floor. You should crawl on your hands and knees.
