WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE?

 

F – FIRST THINK.  THINK OF YOUR SAFETY.  HAVE A PRESENCE OF MIND.

Calming will help us think properly and avoid unnecessary actions that could cause wrong responses and worst could cause injuries.

I – INFORM IMMEDIATELY

Shout if necessary.  Switch-on fire alarm bell to inform others within your building and call the Bureau of Fire Protection for immediate fire response.

R – REACT AND RESPOND TO THE FIRE PROPERLY

“Fight or flight principle”.  If you decide to fight the fire, avoid using water to electrical equipment or appliances.  For flammable liquids, use fire extinguisher or blanket and sand.

E – EVACUATE PROPERLY

Evacuate opposite from the fire always utilizing the fire exit not the elevator.  Crawl if the area is smoke filled.  Do not jump to your death rather swing, dangle or slide.  Do not return to the burning building for a certain thing and stay out from the incident area for ease of way for fire and other emergency responders.
