 You want to make sure your home is equipped with active smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Know where your pets are when they are stressed. Keep leashes and carriers and your emergency to go bag near the door for a quick exit, but have an alternative plan if that exit is blocked in such an emergency situation. Now, if you can't find your pets, it's important to leave your domicile quickly, but tell firefighters immediately how many pets you have and briefly describe them.
