1. Alert everyone in the building by activating the fire alarm system. Make sure to follow the designated evacuation routes and never use elevators during a fire.
2. Call emergency services (911) to report the fire and provide them with the necessary information, such as the location of the fire and any potential hazards.
3. If possible, assist anyone who may need help evacuating the building, such as individuals with disabilities or injuries.
4. Close all doors behind you as you evacuate to help contain the fire and prevent it from spreading.
5. Stay low to the ground if there is smoke present to avoid inhaling toxic fumes. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth if possible.
6. Once outside, move to a safe distance from the building and gather at a designated meeting point to ensure that everyone has evacuated safely.
7. Do not re-enter the building until emergency services have declared it safe to do so.
8. If you are unable to evacuate the building, find a room with a window and close the door. Signal for help by waving a cloth or shining a light out the window.
9. If your clothing catches fire, stop, drop, and roll to extinguish the flames.
10. Follow any additional instructions provided by emergency personnel on the scene.

Fire Safety Procedures
Upon Discovering a Fire:
1. Remain calm and assess the situation. Determine the location, size, and spread of the fire.
2. Activate the fire alarm. Pull the nearest fire alarm to alert others and dispatch emergency services.
3. Call for help. Dial 911 (or your local emergency number) and provide the exact location, description of the fire, and any injuries.
If Exiting is Possible:
1. Evacuate the building immediately. Follow designated evacuation routes and exit calmly and in an orderly manner.
2. Do not use elevators. Elevators may malfunction during a fire and trap you.
3. Feel doors before opening them. If the door is hot, do not open it. Search for an alternate escape route.
4. Cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth or piece of clothing. This will help protect you from smoke inhalation.
5. Stay low to the ground. Smoke and heat rise, so the air near the floor will be cleaner and cooler.
6. Once outside, go to the designated assembly point. This will help emergency services account for everyone.
If Exiting is Not Possible:
1. Stay calm and barricade yourself in a safe room. If you cannot escape, find a room with a door that can be closed and sealed. Close off any vents or cracks around the door with towels or clothing.
2. Call for help. Use a phone or intercom to contact emergency services. Provide your location and any injuries.
3. Stay near a window. Open the window slightly to get fresh air and signal for help.
4. Do not jump from windows. This is extremely dangerous and could result in serious injuries.
5. Wait for emergency services to arrive. Stay in the safe room until you hear instructions from firefighters.
Additional Tips:
- Know your evacuation plan. Familiarize yourself with the evacuation routes and assembly points for your building.
- Practice fire drills regularly. This will help you respond calmly and efficiently in an emergency.
- Keep fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in working order.
- Never re-enter a burning building. Even if the fire appears to be out, embers and other hazards may still be present.
- Respect the authority of firefighters. Follow their instructions carefully and do not interfere with their work.
