That is really something to think about! We have always drilled the kids on fire evacuation every Nov during fire prevention month. I have always made sure to tell them that they are responsible to get themselves out - nothing else - no pets - no nothin'. When I was a teen, a neighbor lost two young boys in a fire. One boy woke the father who got them out and went to a neighbor to call 911. When he came out the boys were gone. The mother had just come from work as a nurse and was racing door to door at 2am looking for the boys. The younger one went in for the dog, the older went in after him. The dog got out, but the boys died of smoke inhalation. Just a thought. |
