I had never thought of having a fire drill at home on a yearly basis. Perhaps the best moment would be one of those celebrations when relatives and friends gather. Let’s say birthday parties or Christmas banquet. Though it should be compulsory the guests to be informed and convinced about the necessity of taking fireproofs at home. Once they come in the party they should be given a map of the house. One guided visit of the fire exits and meeting point would precede either the first cup or bite to eat. When people have been instructed in the fire drill which is on the verge of celebrating the owner could deploy guests in order to test smoke alarms all around the house. It is a fact that a thriving fire drill depends chiefly on contestant’s fitness. So encouraging people to do some exercises like dropping gently and rolling through the exit lines that have been drawn in the map given at the entrance would be a good chance of success. Eventually when the fire drill’s alarm goes off lights should be switched off and everybody should take the exit they have been commanded whatever it is, the main door, the garden door or the window kitchen, putting in practice their recent acquired knowledge. Obviously instructions should, kindly but firmly insist on leaving everything you are doing or taking in case the alarm goes off, so neither beer nor cup of champagne nor turkey leg should be taken to the meeting point. However not only a fire drill a year should be the unique measure against fire hazards but some prevention actions should be added. The owner should check the guests’ coats and bags specially kid’s and teens’, to prevent matches, lighters and candles from getting in the house. Useless to say, that this task should be rendered keeping people totally oblivious. Don’t worry if time for family games is shortened. When it comes to taking safety measures anything must be procrastinated.
