WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE

1. Don't panic; stay calm. Notify every member in the resi-

dence of the fire.

2. Have all residents leave the building as quickly as possible.

Touch doors to feel if they are hot before opening them.

Use an alternative exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor

and cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, if possi-

ble. DO NOT stop to collect anything. Follow pre-defined

escape plans, if possible.

3. Meet at a prearranged meeting place outside the building.

4. Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.

5. DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE A BURNING BUILDING. Wait for

the fire department to arrive.
