A fire is capable of creating toxic
smoke and gases. If you smell smoke, see flames or are
awakened by your smoke alarm, stay calm and get everyone out
of the home immediately. During a fire, and if you encounter
smoke, remember that the air is best near the floor. Get
down on your hands and knees and crawl to an exit. It is a
good idea to have a pre-arranged meeting place out front of
your home in the event of a fire. If a fire occurs, go there
and take attendance to be sure that no one is left inside.
Once you are outside, notify the fire
department from a neighbors house using 9-1-1. Give the
complete address of the emergency and dont hang up until
the call taker obtains all the necessary information. Be
sure that no one goes back inside the building for any
reason.
Tell the firefighters if anyone is
trapped inside the building.
