What to do during a fire evacuation
What to do during the fire:
Make sure to rearrange things inside your home. Turn off any air conditioning or ventilation system which could bring smoke in. Turn on the lights to help with visibility in case there is smoke. Prop up any ladders against the house to help firefighters get to the roof.
Evacuation orders could be given at the time of the fire. When you’re given the clearance to come back, check the outside of your home.
Make sure there’s nothing smoldering. Get a hose put out any small fire check vents, attic and windows.
