Escape and Wait
Song courtesy of Kulica
An “Escape and Wait” is a reflective blue pentagon with
clear instructions on what to do and where to go during a house fire.
The “Escape and Wait” is mounted on a family’s emergency
meeting place outside the house. It clearly identifies where everyone
should meet and wait for the Fire Department. Even children
to young to read can understand the need to “Escape” to
the bright blue pentagon and “Wait” for the rest of the
family.
Fire Departments do an amazing job teaching Stop Drop and Roll. Where
they fall short is teaching escape plans and meeting places.
The “Escape and Wait” System provides a solution to
the problems Firefighters find teaching home escape planning,
and implementation.
