- Never ignore a fire alarm or smoke detector.
- Call 911 from a safe place.
- If your clothes catch on fire, STOP where you are, DROP and ROLL.
- If you live in a high-rise apartment and the fire is not in your apartment, stay where you are rather than enter a smoke-filled hallway.
- In high-rise office buildings, evacuate only if the fire is on your floor or the one above. Then, go down two floors below the fire floor. Others should remain on their floors and listen for instructions.
- Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening. If a door is hot, do not open it.
- Close doors behind you as you exit a fire.
- When exiting during a fire, STAY LOW AND GO, since smoke and heat rise.
- Do not use the elevator.
- If you are unable to get out, stay near a window and close to the floor. Stuff towels along cracks of doors to avoid smoke. Signal for help, if possible, by waving a cloth or sheet outside the window.
