DO’S AND DON’TS
In case of emergency, these are certain guidelines to be followed
• Never ignore a fire alarm. It is always better safe than sorry.
• Stay calm and make quick exit from the building.
• If you are in a high rise building, exit in an orderly manner. Panic results stampede and may cause more fatalities
• Take the stairs during fire. You could get trapped in an elevator.
• Stay close to the ground while escaping. Always remember that smoke rises so you will find cleaner air near the ground.
• Always test the door for heat before opening. Touch the door knob with the back of your hand. If it is hot, do not open the door. Look for alternative route for an escape.
• Never forget to close the door behind once you have exited a room. This help delay the spread of fire.
• If your clothing catches fire, roll on the ground to put it out.
• STOP. Do not run. Running fans the flame.
• DROP to the ground.
• ROLL OVER and OVER to put out the flame. Cover your face with your hands for protection.
• SMOTHER THE FLAME. Cover the victim with any heavy woolen cloth.
• Once outside of the burning building, call the fire department immediately in case no one has done so already.
• Strictly obey the NO SMOKING sign.
