About this ebook

In May 2002, Michael and Candace Quinn had just returned to their eighty-year-old home from their whirlwind wedding and honeymoon. Exhausted, they fell into bed, wanting to sleep late the next morning. Their home, however, had other ideas. At 3:10 a.m., their world changed forever as they watched a merciless fire rapidly consume their home and belongings.

Candace Quinn relies on her personal experience as a fire victim combined with a firefighter family background in order to educate others on how to prevent a fire, protect personal belongings, and create a plan of action should a home disaster occur. Quinn teaches specifically how to:
Inventory, document, and store possessions Develop a "grab-and-go" list for each room Practice a fast escape and arrange a meeting location Secure a fire-safe home through vigilant observations This practical how-to guide will help any family learn the precautionary steps required to minimize the devastation created by a personal disaster.

"Ms. Quinn's mix of personal experience with statistically correct data combines for an easy, informative read...one every homeowner or dweller should do. After 28 years as a fire chief, even I learned a couple things. This book is what everyone should know BEFORE [fire] happens to you."
-Chief Eric Madison, Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Fire Department
