2. The correct answer is: (C). By crawling to the door you will stay under the smoke, close to the ground where the air is clearer. Remember, keep bedroom doors closed at night.

3. The correct answer is: (C). If the door is hot, opening it could kill you, oxygen would be added to the fire allowing it to spread into your bedroom.

4. The correct answer is: (A). Use your alternate escape route. Make sure windows are not painted shut and doors are not blocked by furniture.

5. The correct answer is: (D). Remember, you always want to stay low under the smoke. Never try to escape into a fire. Go into a room the fire hasn't entered and close the door. Then get out of the house by a window or door.

6. The correct answer is: (B). When you establish your family fire escape plan, decide on a meeting place away from the house for all family members. Never re-enter a burning building. Many lives are lost when people run back into a burning building.

Remember to keep your room key with you so you can re-enter your room. It's possible to stay safe in your room for a couple of hours with the door closed. Stay low near the bottom of the window so you can breathe fresh air. The wet towels around the door help seal out smoke.
