Fire Escape Plan Maker
Draw your floor plan on a grid, mark two escape routes for every room plus an outside meeting point, then print a one-page family fire escape plan.
Draw your plan
Fire safety organizations recommend that every household keeps a home fire escape plan: two ways out of every room, and one outside meeting place where everyone gathers. This editor makes drawing one genuinely easy. Sketch your walls on a snap-to-grid canvas, drop in doors and windows, label the rooms, then trace a primary escape route (green) and a secondary route (orange) out of each room to a meeting point outside. Made a mistake? Hit undo. When the plan looks right, add your household details and press Print plan for a clean one-page sheet — the map, a legend and a safety checklist — ready for the fridge. Nothing is uploaded or saved anywhere; your home layout stays on your device. The plan follows widely recommended fire-safety practice: two distinct escape routes from every room and a single outdoor meeting point. Print a fresh copy whenever your layout changes — new furniture, a renovated room or a new home all deserve an updated plan.
How it works
Sketch the floor plan
Select the Wall tool and drag on the grid to draw walls — everything snaps to the grid, so rooms come out square. Click to place doors and windows, and use the Label tool to name each room. Undo fixes any slip.
Trace two routes per room
Pick the primary route tool (green) and click a path from each room to an exit; press Finish route, then trace a secondary route (orange) — a different way out, usually through a window. Place the meeting point outside, a safe distance from the home.
Print and practice
Add your household name and meeting-point description, then press Print plan. You get a one-page sheet with the map, legend and safety checklist — pin it on the fridge and walk both routes with your family twice a year.
Worked example
A single-story 3-bedroom ranch. Walls drawn on the snapping grid in about 10 minutes, doors and windows placed, rooms labeled. Each bedroom gets a primary route (green) through the hallway to the front door and a secondary route (orange) through the bedroom window. Meeting point: the mailbox at the curb, 40 feet from the house — permanent, memorable, clear of the driveway where trucks need access. The one-page printout — map, legend and safety checklist — goes on the fridge, and the family walks both routes twice a year in under 10 minutes.
Limitations
This is a planning sketch, not an architectural drawing — it is not to scale and not suitable for insurance filings or permits. It does not replace smoke alarms, fire extinguishers or your local fire code’s requirements. Print quality depends on your printer; use the print preview before committing.
Household documents belong in one evidentiary family: the escape plan on the wall, the signed forms in the folder. The PDF Bates Stamper numbers legal and household documents page by page — the same find-it-fast numbering courts and insurers rely on.
