Residents and their dog safely escaped a quickly-spreading fire in their home on South Linda Way in Santa Ana on the evening of Dec. 25 – Christmas Day, according to the OCFA.
The firefighters knocked down the fire and assessed one person for possible smoke inhalation, who declined transportation to a hospital.
Costa Mesa Fire and Rescue, the Santa Ana Police Department, and SoCal Red Cross provided assistance, and neighbors provided a video to the OCFA.
The OCFA is happy that the family safely escaped.
Here are some tips to help you prepare a home escape plan:
- Create a home escape plan and practice escaping your home with your family in two minutes or less.
- Draw a floor plan of your entire house showing all doors and windows.
- Identify two ways out of every room.
- Establish a meeting place outside the home.
- Always sleep with bedroom doors closed.
