What to do in case of a fire:
	In the case of a small, contained fire (on the stove, for example), the fire extinguisher can be used if you already know how to operate one. Our fire extinguisher is located:
	In the event of a larger fire, gather all the children immediately and usher them out of the house via the nearest door or window.
	Test doors before you open them. Kneel down, reach up as high as you can, and touch the door with the back of your hand--at the knob and around the frame. If there's a fire on the other side, it will feel warm on the knob and around the cracks.
	If the door is warm, try another escape route.
	Exits are located:
	Take the kids and go straight to a neighbor's house--preferably one who is on the "in case of emergency" list--and call 911 from there.
	Call us, or one of the above alternate contacts if we are not reachable.
