This article isn't about preparing your family and teaching them what to do – that's coming up soon. This is about a few fire preparedness items you should have in your home and car that could buy you the time and ability to escape.
Fire preparedness kits
Here are a few fire safety preps that could come in handy, potentially saving homes and even lives.
Fire suppression blankets
I keep one of these by the fireplace, in the kitchen, and in my vehicle. They work very well to smother a small fire and prevent it from becoming an inferno.
Fire extinguishers
I don't think you can have too many fire extinguishers. When I lived in fire country, I hung one in every bedroom closet, as well as the kitchen. Not only can it stop a blaze in its tracks, but you can also use it to make your way to an escape. I use this kind in my home.
For my vehicle, I keep one of these little ones under each front seat. They're small and can be conveniently located to help you in the event you're in an accident and the vehicle catches on fire.
Instructions
Does everyone in the family know what to do in the event of a fire? You can post these signs to remind your loved ones of what to do in the event of a fire.
Escape ladders
If you are trapped upstairs during a fire, you'll need a safe way to get down. These are also advisable if you live in an upper apartment. I have had one of these under each bed for years. I prefer this kind because it hooks easily and securely on the windowsill, and they'll work even if you aren't good at tying fancy knots. They also have a three-story version. If you have pets you can lower them down with one of these gadgets.
