At times, calling outside of a disaster area will improve your chances of"keeping in touch'. 3.

Remove anyone in immediate danger. 2. Confine the fire. Close doors and windows. 3. Notify your Supervisor or a member of your Emergency Response Team. 4. If told to do so • Sound the fire alarm. • Dial the Emergency Telephone Number 5. You may try to put out a small fire. Do so only if: • You have the training and authorized. • It is safe to do so. • You have someone with you (with another extinguisher). • There is an exit behind you. 6. Proceed to the safest exit and begin to evacuate unless your Supervisor, emergency response personnel or the Fire Department tell you otherwise. Go to your designated "safe" area. Evacuation procedures: The following procedures followed IMMEDIATELY whenever a fire alarm activates, or if you evacuate: 1. WALK directly to the closest exit.
