Keep the kids safe

We all would like to think we would know what to do in the case of a fire in our home.  And when the home is just adults it may be real easy to talk yourself into thinking you would know what to do.  Maybe you would.  But once you start adding kids to the house it is a different story.  Do you have your escape plan in place?  Do you know what you would do if a fire started upstairs where your baby is and you are downstairs.  or if the fire was in the hall and your kids were in their rooms?  This is all very scary to think about and that is why the average person just puts it out of their mind.  I urge you that if you do not have a plan in place sit down with your family and talk about it.  go over a few different plans talk about where you would all meet outside.  talk about how you would know who was going to grab the baby or the toddlers.  Talk to your toddlers about getting down below the fire.  Maybe even visit a fire house with them.  Be safe.  Think ahead.
