Escape a fire

What would you do if there was a fire in your office?

1. Escape Planing |
|
| |
It's important
to get out fast! Never hide or take time to gather up your
belongings.
Fires are scary and confusing. They can be loud, burn very
fast, and their smoke can make a room very dark. It helps
to have a plan so you'll know what to do to get out of your home!
Good escape plans help you get out of your office
quickly in case of a fire. The best plans have two ways to
get out of each room.
If one way is blocked by the fire, you can get out
the other way. When escaping, stay low to the floor. Smoke
rises during a fire. The safest air is down low.
You can help your company or team make an escape plan.

Here is how to plan an escape |
|
| |
Try to find two ways out from
every room.
The first way out should be a door. Every way needs
to be planned and practiced with grown-ups.
Before opening any door in a fire, feel it first. If it is
hot, there may be fire on the other side.
Try to get out another way.
Stay low to the floor when escaping a fire.
Pick a safe and easy-to-remember place outside the
office to meet your team members after you get out.
After you get out, call the fire department.
Stay outside no matter what. Don't go back for anything! |

Provide for Those Requiring
Additional Help |
|
| |
Special provisions may be
required for disabled or the elderly who may need additional
help when escaping.
These provisions should be included in the fire escape
plan and discussed with the affected members.

Exit Safely From a Structure |
|
| |
Jumping from upper floors of
a building should be avoided.
However, it is possible to hang from a second story window
and drop feet first to the ground without significant injury.
A sprained ankle or broken leg is better than dying.
When exiting such a structure, do not use the elevator.
Elevators are notorious for stopping at the fire floor
and killing the people inside. A power failure may cause them
to stop in between floors.
Use the fire escape or an enclosed fire resistive stairwell to
exit. As a family, explore the building so that every exit, is familiar,
including those from storage, laundry and recreation rooms.
If the hallways become smoke-filled as the result
of a fire, memory can help in finding the exits.
Look for these important features in the building - enclosed
exit stairways, clearly-marked exits, clean hallways and lobbies, automatic
sprinklers, fire alarm systems and smoke detectors. |
