Your checklist

Get low
Smoke is poisonous and more deadly than flames.

If you breathe smoke for more than a few breaths it can kill you.
Be fast
A house fire can kill you in less than three minutes.

Don't spend time trying to save possessions.
Close doors
A closed door buys you time.

It slows down the spread of fire, giving you more time to get to safety.
Get out - stay out!
People have died by going back into a fire.

Don't leave the meeting place to go back inside for any reason.
