East Lyme Public Safety – Tip of the Week

Do you have an escape plan for your family in case of a fire?
If not, be sure to make one and follow these simple steps:

  • Be sure to practice at least two different ways to escape from your home in the event of a fire.
  • Practice fire drills with your children.
  • Designate a meeting place like a swing set or mailbox outside of your home for everyone to meet in the event of a fire.
