How to create a fire escape plan

/in , /by

You’ve heard of stop, drop and roll. You know how to call 9-1-1. You change the batteries in your smoke alarm at least twice a year. But do you have a fire escape plan?

According to the American Red Cross, only 26% of families have actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan.

The issue lies in the fact that many people believe that they have more time to get out if there’s a fire. But in fact, it may only be about two minutes.1

With 501,500 structure fires occurring in the U.S. during 2015,2 it’s critical that you and all of the members of your household take the time to find and practice your escape routes.

Take a look at these tips and create your own home fire escape plan.

1. Do a walk through.

Gather the family and take a walk through your home. Be sure to examine all windows and doors, and note at least two ways out of each room.

2. Write it down.

Especially if you have children in your home, it’s important that you take the time to physically map out your escape routes. One great tool is NFPA’s Home Escape Plan. The coloring book-like chart can help get your kids involved and educated on the fire escape plan.

3. Think about escape ladders.

Consider purchasing escape ladders for rooms on upper-level floors. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and have everyone in your home practice using the ladders from first-story windows. Keep these escape ladders near the windows where they will be used.

Sleep comfortably knowing that your most valuable asset is protected. Whether you rent or own, having good coverage is great thing.

Typical policies will cover:

  • Damages to your home’s physical structure
  • Damages to other structures like garages or sheds
  • Your personal belongings, whether they’re in your home or elsewhere
  • Temporary living expenses in the case your house becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss
  • Your personal liability in the event someone is injured or their property is damaged

We provide both standard and non-standard coverage for your automobile, motorcycle, boat or RV. We customize your coverage to meet your specific needs.

There are generally two types of auto insurance available to drivers: standard coverage and non-standard coverage. FAYIN Insurance offers both. Standard policies are less expensive and are issued to good drivers with solid driving histories. Non-standard insurance is issued to drivers with subpar driving records or who do not have prior insurance coverage. Non-standard premiums are normally much higher, and can cause a driver to reduce coverage amounts so he can afford the policy.
