DELPHI, INDIANA, THOBCDAY, NOVE..,i»ER 25, 1971Pre-Plan For Any Fire EmergenciesyourIf a fire was to break out in home during the night, Could you — without stopping to think — name two ways out of each room?Planning in advance for fire emergencies could save a major-ity of the lives lost annually in home fires, says F. R. Willsey, Purdue University extensionr-drugstoresafety specialist.Statistics show that most fires in both city and rural homes break out at night. Therefore, it is essential that your pre-planning include the bedrooms of each member of the family.What would be their escape plan if suddenly your house caught fire tonight? Besides the doorway, an alternate exit is needed from every room.One safety step your family can take is to have a well-rehear-vsed escape plan. Perhaps a prearranged signal that woud arouseand alert the entire family isneeded. Certainly these steps are t wise where the family includes young children.Safety experts claim it is best to sleep with bedroom doors closed. Then, in case of fire, the door acts as a barrier. Each member of the household should know he can test for heat outside the bedroom by feeling the upper part of the door. If the door seems unduly hot, keep it closed, sound the alert and immediately use a pre-planned exit.If there are no other doors to the room, a window leading onto a porch or shed roof might provide an alternate escape route. Even a window above shrubbery could be the answer in direemergency. Shrubbery couldbreak a fall or leap.Your pre-planning should include an outside meeting place where everyone will report for a head count. Then the rule, Once Out, Stay Out,” should be strictly obeyed.Fire prevention should be in our thoughts every day of the year, says Willsey.The week before Easter Day is set aside as Holy Week.•we can havea cleanerIndianaNature in all its forms—from ring-tailed raccoon to arushing river—does have a chance.And electric energy will help.
