A Floor plan
A floor plan is a bird's-eye view onto your house without a roof. The straight lines are the walls and the thin, curved lines show how the doors open into the rooms.
The red and blue dots are the places where you should have a smoke alarm.
If you can only afford one smoke alarm, place it in the hallway (red dot).
It's your turn now...
It's your turn now...
Go around your house and check where all your smoke alarms are. If you don't have any smoke alarms yet, see where you should put them.
CREATE ACTIVITY
Draw a floor plan of YOUR house and use one colour to show where your current smoke alarms are and another colour to show where they should be.
SHARE
Share your floor plan with your kaiako/teacher and send it to us at this address: FireWiseTasmanMarlborough@fireandemergency.nz
