FIGHTING FIRE TIPS

When a fire breaks out, don't panic. Follow these safety rules

1. Remember all fires start as small fires. If you see one, try to put it out yourself, and at the same time shout " FIRE....FIRE....FIRE...." to attract other's attention.

2. If you have to vacate the building, do it in an orderly manner. This is important. In panic, the exit will get jammed.

3. When the electricity supply gets tripped or is switched off for any reason, don't use lift. The lift shaft being common to all floors, gets filled with smoke. Always go down by stairs. It is good to count the floors one has gone down, to know when have you reached the ground floor.

4. To keep the emergency staircase shaft smoke-free, it is important that the doors on each floor are always kept shut, but never locked.

5. If you are trapped inside, don't panic. Most fire casualities are not because of fire, but because of suffocation from the smoke. smoke being hot, does not exist near the floor. So put a cloth, preferebaly wet, to your face and crawl out of the area.

IF YOU PASTE THE ABOVE FIVE POINTS ON THE INSIDE OF TOILET DOORS, THERE IS GOOD CHANCE THAT IT WILL BE READ AT LEISURE AND REMEMBERED WHEN NEEDED.
