We at SERVPRO of Barron, Dunn, & Rusk Counties care about your safety first.  Have you thought about if a fire does happen in your home, do you have a plan, a plan that will evacuate you and your love ones in the home.  Here are a few safety fire evacuation tips.  You may have heard of R.A.C.E. used to describe these tips.

R-Rescue those who cannot get out by themselves and get everyone to a safe place, 

A-Alarm or alert someone to get help, such as telling someone to contact the fire department.

C-Confine the fire by closing doors on the way out of the building to stop the fire from spreading.

E-Extinguish the fire if possible using a fire extinguisher, if no one is able to extinguish the fire or the fire is too big, wait for help in a safe place.

Make sure everyone is aware of a route to use and a place to meet when everyone is out so you know if they have escaped.
