2)Placement and maintenance of smoke detectors  One detector placed on each floor of the home  Placed in each room except kitchen and bathroom  Near the kitchen  Each sleeping area  One near the furnace and water heater  Tested regularly  Two types  Battery operated  Fresh battery installed once a year  Home electrical current 4.2

3)Fire Safety Plan (evacuation route)  Plan possible escape routes  Ensure routes are usable  Windows are easy to open  Ladders for upper-story windows  Routes, halls or doors are not blocked  Designate a place for all family members to meet  Draw a diagram showing all escape routes and location where you will meet  Post diagram where everyone to see  Increase safety-ask family members to sleep with bedroom door closed. Why close doors?  Practice the escape plan by holding fire drills twice a year  Hold at least some drills after dark  Most danger time is between 10:00 pm to 3:00 am
