Never ignore fire alarms, even when there have been false alarms in the recent past.
Know where fire exits are, in your building and any you visit.
Have an escape plan from your dwelling place  (Young adults aged 18-24 are the least likely to have one).
Keep hallways and exits clear, to make it easier to escape and for rescue efforts.
Do not block hallway doors open.
Maintain WORKING smoke alarms.  A large majority of fire deaths now occur in occupancies which either lack alarms, or lack the batteries to operate them.
