Never try to get things or belongings when fire break out. If your primary exit is blocked, use other way to leave your premises. Stay calm and help other to control the situation.  Do not use lift: Leave the premises by nearest available exit and close all doors and windows behind you. Never use lift for leaving the premises or apartment.  If trapped in your room or building: Use towels, blankets or spare cloths to block the gaps in the door to stop smoke. Go to window, shout for help and once you heard by fire service and help is on the way, stay near to the floor by the window.  If fire on your clothes: Stop, drop and roll if your cloth catches fire. Do not get panic or run, it will make fire burn faster and leads to more injuries or burn. Private Portal For Residents Of Apartment www.commonfloor.com
