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:
Is your house in a wildfire zone? Advance preparation goes a long way to keep your family safe in a fire. Install smoke detectors now if you don't have them already. Also, hold a family "fire safety" meeting. Sketch a floor plan of your house, and mark doors, windows, and stairs. Know two easy exits from every room. Now, check windows and doors. They should open easily — and make sure windows are large enough to climb through. At your fire safety meeting, agree on a safe place to meet outside the house. Make sure everyone has a flashlight and whistle to keep by his or her bed. Finally, hold family fire drills regularly. :34

Announcer:
