Fire Escape

(HealthDayNews) -- If a fire broke out in your home, would your family know what to do? Having an escape plan can save your lives.

According to Shriners Hospitals for Children, a home fire escape plan should include the following:

• Practice sessions for getting out of the home through various exits.
• Smoke detectors installed wherever needed.
