We live in a one story house and every room has casement windows. Makes it easier to get out of the window from bedroom if needed to. We have 3 doors, one in kitchen, den and the front door as well. We have fire alarms as well. So would have a warning. DH’s mother’s house burned down when his daughter was in process of moving out. It had a floor furance and she left the pilot light on. Seems some papers fell on the furnance and it caught fire. Just glad no one was home when that happened. But the house was a total loss. We have practice drills a couple times a year. But now with DH and his balance being so bad. I am working on an easier way for him to get out of a window if he can’t get to a door. We have natural gas and since he worked for the gas co. He has a way for me to be able to turn off gas at the meter that is easier that using the cut off on the meter itself.
