Andrews:
I'm Richard Andrews, director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. This is an EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory from our agency and the National Safety Council. :10

Announcer:
Fire drills are a part of school safety. They're a smart idea at home, too. Check your smoke detectors regularly, but also make sure everyone in your family knows how to sound the alarm: by yelling, pounding on the walls, or blowing a whistle. Practice getting out fast. There's no time to waste getting dressed or looking for pets or valuables. Practice rolling out of bed and staying low. In a real fire, that keeps you below the smoke. You can even do your fire drill blindfolded — the smoke from a real fire would make it hard to see. Finally, make sure everyone knows this rule: If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop, and roll. :34

Announcer:
This EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory was brought to you by the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation. :05
