What is E.D.I.T.H.?
E.D.I.T.H. is Exit Drills In The Home. It is a program that is designed to teach every member of your household how to exit the home in the event of a fire. If begins with an escape plan, then focuses on the practice of that plan. Practice is the only way to be sure a plan will work, and it is important to be sure before an incident.
