The roof...is on fire

Tonight's installment from our North Las Vegas Hometown Emergency Planner wheel is [drum roll]:
HOW TO PREPARE: FIRE
1. Install smoke alarms.
2. Create an escape plan that includes two escape routes from every room in the house (easier said than done) and walk through the routes with your entire family.
3. Clean out storage areas. (to have less flammable stuff around)
4. Check the electrical wiring and extension cords.
5. Never use gasoline indoors.
6. Teach children fire safety.
7. Install fire extinguishers.
8. Know how to shut off power and gas.
9. Pay attention when cooking.
10. Don't smoke in bed. (As Mammaw says: Never ever smoke in bed/or else you might wake up dead.)

And now...
HOW TO ACT: FIRE
1. Use water or a fire extinguisher to put out small fires.
2. Do not try to put out a fire that is getting out of control.
3. Never use water on an electrical fire. Only use fire extinguishers approved for electrical fires.
4. Smother oil and grease fires with baking soda or salt. If it is in a pan, cover the pan.
IF FIRE IS SPREADING:
1. Get out!
2. Once outside, do not try to go back in.
3. Stay low to the ground, under the smoke.
4. Use the back of your hand to check the top of the door, doorknob, and the crack between the door and the door frame before trying to open a closed door.
5. If you are trapped, hang a white or light colored sheet, towel, or shirt out a window to alert firefighters to where you are.
6. Use stairs - never take an elevator.
7. If your clothes catch on fire, stop drop and roll.

Oh, and at some point you should have called 911. Probably near the beginning, as soon as you noticed the fire.

My post is late tonight because I've been on Pinterest. Instead of making a "practical life skills" powerpoint for my students, since tomorrow is our last full day of school, I ripped off a bunch of pinterest images and pasted them into a presentation which is perfectly legal because I am not giving it for profit.
