Do you leave kids shoes on that day or just have a regular day and put their shoes on at the safe spot? My kids shoes come off at the door in the morning. I know in a real fire I'm gonna have the time to put their shoes on their feet till we are safely away.

Our licensors are beginning to conduct fire drills when they visit so we have been practicing.
All our shoes go in a milk crate by the door every day. I sound a smoke alarm (exactly like the ones installed but I keep it on top my microwave. I do not depend on it as an actual alarm because I know the batteries aren't as strong as mounted ones because I use it often)
Several times a day I sound the alarm and the kids know, drop your toys, walk to the door tile.
It's also how I call them to get ready to go outside.
It's part of our routine so the noise doesn't bother them or scare them anymore.
I should have thought of this years ago.
Also, we just take the crate out with us and put our shoes on outside. No big.

In the winter months, we gather in the entry way and "pretend" we are in our meeting spot.
