Team Wendorf Fire Escape Plan
Recently I decided that our family needed a fire escape plan, particularly because we all sleep on the second floor. I bought a few hundred dollars worth of equipment but it has just been sitting, so I decided that the next step was to write up a simple project plan that included steps for what we still need to accomplish to be prepared.
I of course wrote this in all seriousness even though I included a few humorous items in the plan, but Kristina felt that the entire thing was funny. So funny in fact that she was doubled over in laughter about the whole thing. So much for trying to apply project planning to family goals.
Here’s what Team Wendorf will do in case of fire:
Equipment Available:
* Two fire masks - one kept under each side of the parents bed
* Two fire blankets - both kept handy in master bedroom
* one fire ladder - kept in Kai’s roomIf we are awoken by fire during the night we will do the following:
* pee pants
* put on fire masks
* Kristina wraps Otto (and self if necessary) in fire blanket
* Kristina takes Otto to Lucias room
* Kristina takes Otto and Lucia out window onto porch roof
* Jason takes fire blanket and goes to kai’s room (wraps self in blanket if necessary)
* Jason puts ladder out window
* Jason carries Kai down ladder to yard
* Jason helps Kristina, Otto and Lucia off of porch roof
* Jason rushes into flaming building to save Russel (our basement renter)What we need to do:
* learn how to use ladder
* learn how to use fire masks
* possibly buy one or two more fire blankets (to keep in kids rooms)
* possibly buy one more fire ladder for master bedroom as alternative escape option
* pray we never have to deal with this
