What to do in case of fire
• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.
• Get of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed
or collect anything.
• Feel doors with the back of your hand prior to opening them. If a
door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep door and
windows closed, unless you must escape through them.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take
short shallow breaths.
• Meet at the planned meeting place outside your home, and take a
head count to make sure everybody got out safely.
• Call the fire department from outside. Give your address, then
your name.
• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.
• Contact your fire department for suggestions and ideas on how to
make your home safer.
