So why is a company that makes character training videos for kids sending out videos about fire safety? That answer starts on April 21st, 2011. That’s the day a 9 volt battery started a fire in my home and nearly cost me my life.
You see, I made several mistakes in that fire. I made the decision to save my pets and by doing so, I stayed in the house too long. And that was just one of my mistakes. I realized, I need to share what I learned while escaping from a burning house. This is a message that all of our families need to hear. Some of my top tips are:
- Get out and stay out – this is your number one goal in a fire!
- Every second matters. Don’t waste time gathering belongings – they aren’t worth your life.
- Make sure every exit is clear.
- Know two ways out of every room.
- Fire extinguishers are tools for escape only. If a fire is larger than a small trash can, a fire extinguisher won’t put it out.
Please help us spread the word. Share this page to protect your friends.
