IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, REMAIN CALM. NOTIFY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS OF FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL. IF YOU MUST TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION, USE YOUR JUDGMENT AS TO THE SAFEST COURSE OF ACTION, GUIDED BY THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
If the Fire is in Your Apartment
1. Close the door to the room where the fire is, leave your room or suite.
2. Make sure EVERYONE leaves the area with you.
3. Take your keys.
4. Close, but do not lock the room door.
5. Alert people on your floor by knocking on their doors on you way to the exit.
6. Use the nearest stairwell to exit the building.
7. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR
8. Dial 911 once you reach a safe location. Do not assume a fire has been reported unless firefighters are on the scene.
9. Meet the members of your floor or suite at a predetermined location outside the building.
Notify responding firefighters if anyone is unaccounted for.
If the Fire Is Not in Your Apartment
When you exit your room or suite, first feel the corridor door and doorknob for heat. If they are hot, open the door slightly and check the hallway for smoke, heat or fire.
If you can safely exit your room, follow the instructions above for a fire in your room or suite.
If you cannot safely exit your room or suite, dial 911 call 911 or the Fire Department Dispatcher and inform them of your situation. Provide the address, floor, apartment number and the number of persons present.
Seal the doors to your room or suite with wet towels or sheets, and seal air ducts or other openings where smoke may enter.
Open windows a few inches at top and bottom unless flames and smoke are coming from below. DO NOT BREAK ANY WINDOWS.
If conditions in the room or suite appear life-threatening, open a window and wave a towel or sheet to attract attention of firefighters.
If smoke conditions worsen before help arrives, get down on the floor and take short breaths through your nose. If possible, retreat away from the source of the smoke, heat or fire.
This is the most useful TED talk I’ve ever seen.
