Call 911 and use the COMDIAL Telephone System using the "All Page Method" <br /> to notify the other building occupants and shut off the air handling system to <br /> prevent the spread of smoke. <br /> If the fire is small (and Only after having done these two things), you may attempt to use <br /> an extinguisher to put it out. <br /> However, before deciding to fight the fire, keep these things in mind: <br /> a Know what is burning. If you don't know what is burning, you won't know what <br /> kind of extinguisher to use. <br /> it Even if you have an ABC fire extinguisher, there might be something in the fire <br /> that is going to explode or produce toxic fumes. <br /> Chances are you will know what is burning, or at least have a pretty good idea, <br /> but if you don't, let the fire department handle it. <br /> ia Is the fire spreading rapidly beyond the point where it started? The time to use <br /> an extinguisher is at the beginning stages of the fire. <br /> 4 If the fire is already spreading quickly, it is best to simply evacuate the building. <br /> As you evacuate a building, close <br /> doors and windows behind you as you i <br /> leave. y <br /> This will help to slow the spread of I <br /> smoke and fire. <br /> f <br /> - ..... ------ _....... .............. <br /> Oklahoma State University Page 6 <br />
