I had a visit from the fire marshall too, courtesy of a crazy neighbour who called and reported me as having an unsafe daycare, ugh! They are gone thank goodness and I'm still here working hard. But it turned out to be a good learning experience for me because the good looking (teehee) fire marshall was kind enough to tell me that even though my apartment only has one door for an exit I have large windows that open in every room so those are also acceptable as fire escape routes.

When we have a fire drill we go out the door of course but if there were a real emergency and we couldn't get to the door I'm on the ground floor and we would be out the window. Make sure you have a plan like that with a definite way out and alternates as well.
