Description:	Practice Your Escape Plan!" � that's the message of Fire Prevention Week 2007. It's not enough just to have a fire escape plan. To escape safely from a home fire you've got to make sure that everyone in the home has practiced the plan as well. According to a poll conducted for NFP , while the majority of Americans have an escape plan in case of a fire, most haven't practiced it. And three-quarters of Americans believe they have 10 minutes or less until a fire turns deadly. From October 7-13, fire safety advocates across the country will be spreading the word that when it comes to escape plans, practice is key.
