The US is nearly always experiencing a Firestorm, somewhere. Drought conditions usually complicate matters and the weather can be either an ally or a very powerful opponent.
In order to protect your family, everyone should have a plan to evacuate the house in case of a fire. Start in one room and discuss the path to take in order to exit the building. Suggest alternate routes in case one path is blocked. Repeat this procedure for every room in the house that was not already in a previous escape path.
Practice makes perfect. Drill your family. Use a fire bell or other alarm to designate a fire drill. When there is smoke, make sure to crawl while you follow the appropriate path, inhaling smoke could make you choke and pass out.
