What to Do if There's a Fire
- Get Out!
- Once out, stay out! Do not go back in for any reason.
- Call 911 from a safe location.
- Give the dispatcher as much accurate information as you can.
- Use your fire escape plan. Go to the designated family meeting place.
- Try to let neighbors know to get out. Help elderly neighbors and children to get out.
- Have someone meet the fire trucks when they arrive, if it can be done safely.
- Keep the fire lanes open.
- If you can't get out, use a mobile phone to stay in touch with the 911 dispatchers. Shine a flashlight or wave a towel at the window to alert firefighters that you are trapped.
- Stay calm.
