E.D.I.T.H.
Edith stands for Exit Drill In The Home. Edith is a very important part of fire safety. You should plan an exit drill in your home in case your house ever catches on fire. The plan should include at least two exits for each room. You should plan on where to meet once you are out of your home. Some people use their mailbox or a neighbor's house as a meeting place. Make sure everyone knows their roll in getting everyone out safely, especially those who may need help because of age or a disability. Once you are out the house, call the fire department. You and your family should practice the plan many times so you will be prepared in case of a fire.
