The full "Home Escape Planning" script:

Hello, I am Gary Olsen with some important messages from the National Fire Protection Association.

When a fire starts in your home, deadly smoke and fire spread very fast. You have very little time to get out. Take time now to make a home fire drill plan for everyone in your home. First, make sure that your home has working smoke alarms that alert you with a bed shaker to wake you if there is smoke. A flashing light is good to alert you when you are awake.

Go to each room. Find two ways out of each. Check to make sure all doors and windows open easily. 

Choose a meeting place outside your home where everyone in your home can meet after they escape from a fire. It should be a permanent place in front of your home, like a tree or telephone pole. 

Call the fire department from your meeting place or from a neighbor's phone. Do not go back inside the house until the firefighters tell you it is safe.
