Know the quickest exit route out of the building. Have a backup or alternate path out of the building.

Know the location of the nearest manual fire alarm pull station in your building and know how to
activate it.

Know where your emergency Assembly Point and Evacuation Areas are located, and the Evacuation
Routes you should follow to reach them.

If the building is on fire and there is a danger of explosion, face away from the building.

Stop, drop, and roll. If your clothes catch on fire, put the fire out by stopping where you are, dropping on
the ground, and rolling. Rolling will smother the flames against the ground.[6]

Keep rolling until the flames are gone.

Get low to avoid smoke. Breathing smoke can hurt you and make you pass out. Smoke rises, so you can
avoid it if you get under it. If you see smoke, crawl to stay below it.

Yell for help. If you're alone and there's a fire, yell for help. If you are in your room and there's a fire in
your house, open your window and yell for help. Yell until you have attracted someone's attention.

Never hide when there's a fire. The firefighters need to be able to find you.

Alert others if you see fire. If you are at school and you see a fire, get away from the fire immediately.
Run and tell an adult about the fire. Even if you or someone else started the fire, don't worry about
getting in trouble. It's more important that nobody get hurt.

Pull the alarm.

Use your phone to call an emergency number once you are out of the building.

Call 911
