Alert others – as you leave; provide assistance if you can.
Go to a designated outside assembly point – find your supervisor (employees) or instructor (students). Move if your pre-determined assembly point becomes unsafe.
Alert first responders – if you believe someone is still in the building.
Do NOT stop to fight a fire – fire extinguishers are to aid in the process of evacuation.
Do NOT return until given the “all clear” by DPS or the Fire Department.
Fire Safety Tips:
Try to close doors and windows as you are leaving the building.
When evacuating try to avoid breathing smoke.
Try to stay as close to the floor as possible when leaving; crawl if necessary/possible.
If unable to evacuate; close doors and windows in your area and plug gaps where smoke may come in.
