Do you know your address?
Does your children know there address?

You will need to know your municipal address property number, street name, and town. Is your municipal number sign visible from both directions of travel?

Make sure your sign is easy to read from vegetation, snow and decorations.

Keeping your number sign clearly visible, will help emergency personnel find your house quickly.

No matter where you are, or what type of building you are in, if a fire occurs it's too late to start developing an escape plan. People need to know how to respond immediately in a variety of situations, and that takes education, planning and practice.

An adequate escape plan for a single family home includes:

• Everyone in the household knowing two ways out of every room.
• Establishing an outdoor location in front of the house where everyone will meet upon exiting the home.
• A safe place from which to call 911.

Consider writing a joint plan with your extended family and neighbours to establish several safe alternatives.
