Leave the building immediately.

Children should not attempt to fight fires. Adults may use a fire extinguisher on a small fire if it seems safe to do so.

 Never open a door that feels hot.

Before opening any door, touch it briefly with the back of your hand. If the door feels hot, the fire on the other side may be blazing fiercely. You could be killed by the heat and smoke if you opened the door. Try another escape route or wait for help.

Crawl on the floor when going through a smoky area.

Smoke and heated gases tend to rise, and so they will be thinnest near the floor.

Do not run if your clothes catch fire.

Running fans and spreads the flames. Roll on the floor to smother the flames.

Do not return to the building.

After you have escaped, call the fire department. If people are trapped inside, wait for the fire department to rescue them.
