I'm the safety officer at my place of business so I have the responsibility of making sure employees know our basic safety policies and procedures. I always get a lot of groans and "comments" when I have to review these policies...and conducting a fire drill 4 times a year has not won me any popularity awards but I believe in this wholeheartedly--That feeling was reinforced after reading the book "102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers" by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn. I was dismayed to learn that there may have been additional survivors if they had know of alternate exits.
Today, review your fire escape plan and learn the alternate exits in the places you frequent most. Make sure every family member know of at least 2 ways to exit every room in your home in the event the "most logical" path is blocked in a fire or other emergency. Any emergency can momentarily confuse us but if we are well versed in emergency response tactics (pay attention during those boring presentations) lives can be saved!
