Every second counts during a fire and having a clear exit strategy saves lives —whether you're at home, a hotel, or a business. Knowing how fast fires can spread and preparing before an emergency strikes are the best ways to protect yourself and your family in an emergency. Why is it important to have an exit strategy?When a fire starts, you don't have time to figure out what to do. You may have less than two or three minutes to escape. Fires spread fast because many household and business items are made with fast-burning plastics.How do you prepare for a fire when traveling?When you check into a hotel, find the two closest exits or stairwells. Count how many doors are between your room and the nearest exit. If the hallway fills with smoke, you can crawl low along the floor and find your way out by counting the doors.Is it safe to use the stairway during a fire?Yes. Stairways are fire-rated, smoke protected spaces. Once you enter the stairway and close the door behind you, it takes time for fire or smoke to reach that area.Where do I go during a fire if I can't climb stairs?Many office buildings and high-rises have an “area of refuge” inside the stairwell. It's a protected space where people with mobility challenges can wait for help.How to keep your dogs, cats, and other pets safe from fireHow to protect your family from a home fireHave an exit strategy campaign
Let's go crazy! This week's pick is "Psychotic Reaction" originally by The Count Five - a song which has to be in the Top 10 of all-time garage toonz ... a Yardbirds-style rave-up with great drums & atmospheric harmonica wails. Two versions, also from 1966, follow hot on the caped ones' heels - Texans Positively Thirteen O'Clock (who are actually Mouse & The Traps under a different name) and budget-rockers The Fire Escape. Labelmate Brenton Wood jumped on the song in '67 and reveals the secret original ending that the Counts ditched for their single. Television played the song live in Cleveland in '75 and they make quite a racket, but then Shockabilly's 1982 version add a ruckus to their racket! Take a ride!
