Remember to stay low
under smoke. Superheated air, toxic gases and smoke fill a room from the top
down.
If you live above
ground level, always use stairwells, not elevators, to escape a building
where there’s a fire. Elevators will be likely to stop and remain at the
first floor where they encounter a fire.
Once you’ve left the
building, be sure that someone has called 9-1-1 to alert the fire department.
Don’t assume this has already been done.
(Bridge)What if you’re door is already hot and you
can’tleave your room?What can you do?.
