What To Do In Case Of A Fire; Troubleshooting - Firex ADH Owner's Manual

• Expose everyone to the sound of the smoke alarm and heat alarm and
explain what the sounds means.

exit if the door is hot. INSTRUCT THEM NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR IF
THE DOOR IS HOT.

dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.

a re hot before opening them. Use an alternate exit if necessary.

3. Meet at a prearranged meeting place outside the building.
4. Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.
