What to do when you detect a fire in a building
Think fast! There’s a fire in your building. What are the first three things you do?
Always remember the Three A’s in case of a fire: Activate, Assist, Attempt.
ACTIVATE – the building alarm system (if it has not already been activated) and notify the fire department by calling 911.
Or, have someone else do this for you while you…
ASSIST – any persons in immediate danger, or those incapable of escaping immediate danger on their own. Assist anyone who may need help to exit the building, without putting yourself at a risk.
Only after these two steps are completed, should you –
ATTEMPT – to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher.
