Crucial Action Steps To Take Before Fighting A Fire Alone
BEFORE you begin (or even consider) fighting a fire:
+ Call the Fire Department (Dial 911).
+ Make sure the building is being evacuated.
+ Determine whether the fire is small and is not spreading.
+ Confirm that you have a safe path to an exit not threatened by the fire.
+ Know how to use a fire extinguisher.
NEVER fight a fire if even one of the following is true:
– The fire is spreading beyond the immediate area in which it started or is already a large fire.
– The fire could block your escape route.
– You are unsure of the proper operation of the extinguisher.
– You doubt that the fire extinguisher you are holding is designed for the type of fire at hand or is large enough to fight the fire.
