The document provides information on fire safety and firefighting. It discusses fire prevention, evacuation plans, causes of fires, types of fires, fire extinguishers and how to use them. The key points are that evacuation plans should include escape routes, maps and emergency crews; fires require fuel, heat and oxygen; and the PASS method should be used to operate fire extinguishers - Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.

14. Fire How does it happen ?
Each of these three elements must be present at
the same time to have a fire. A fire will burn until
one or more of the elements is removed.
Fuel
Any combustible material – solid, liquid or gas
Heat
The energy necessary to
increase the temperature of
fuel to where sufficient
vapors are given off for
ignition to occur
Oxygen
The air we breathe is
about 21% oxygen –
fire needs only
16% oxygen

19. IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE
FIRE ALARM:
Pull the nearest fire alarm to warn others of the fire danger;
NEVER IGNORE AN ALARM.
CALL 1-2-2:& 1-2-5
Reporting the fire immediately, or call from a nearby phone.
Know your building address, and speak calmly and clearly.

20. IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE
EXTINGUISHMENT:
If the fire is small, extinguish it. If it is spreading, GETOUT and close the door behind you.

21. IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE
EVACUATE:
If there is no smoke, walk quickly to the nearest exit.
If there is light smoke, stay low and crawl to the nearest exit.
Remember, alternate exits and never evacuate to the roof;
go down and out of the building
ELEVATOR:
NEVER use an elevator in a fire emergency. An elevator might
stop at the fire floor or malfunction. Always use the stairs.

22. Do not delay yourself by gathering
personal items. Your safety always comes first.
•Leave at once, taking direction from
the emergency warden
(continued):

23. If you decide not to evacuate or you are trapped create an area of refuge
SEAL THE ROOM:
Use wet clothing or towels to stuff around cracks in doors and seal
up vents. Close doors and protect yourself against smoke.
USE WATER:
Keep a wet cloth over your nose and mouth, breath through your
nose only. Wet down walls, doors and windows.

24. If you decide not to evacuate or you are trapped create an area of refuge
SIGNAL FOR HELP:
Call 1-2-2&1-2-5 or building management for help, if you have no phone,
signal at the window for help.
DO NOT BREAK WINDOWS:
Flames and smoke can travel back to you from the outside. If you need air,
open the window a crack; be ready to close it immediately.
DON’T JUMP:
Wait to be rescued, if you are above the 2nd floor. By remaining calm, you
increase your chances of survival!

25. Stop, Drop, and Roll
IF YOUR CLOTHES CATCH FIRE, don’t run. Stop where you are, drop to the
ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll over and over to smother the
flames.
Finally, automatic sprinkler systems will control most fires before fire fighters
ever arrive.
Crawl Low Under Smoke
DURING A FIRE, smoke and poisonous gases rise with the heat. The air is
cleaner near the floor. If you must escape through smoke, crawl on your
hands and knees to the nearest exit, keeping your head 12 to 24 inches (30
to 60 cm) above the floor
If you decide not to evacuate or you are trapped create an area of refuge

Aim at the base of the fire
Sweep from side to side.
Get close enough, stay low.

27. Proper move during fire

28. IF YOU FIGHT A FIRE, REMEMBER THE WORD
P A S S
PULL . . . AIM . . . SQUEEZE . . . SWEEP
AIM... low, pointing the
extinguisher nozzle (or it's horn
or hose) at the base of the fire.
PULL... the pin. Some extinguishers require releasing
a lock latch, pressing a puncture lever or other motion.

29. SQUEEZE... the handle. This
releases the extinguishing agent.
SWEEP... from side to side at the base
of the fire until it appears to be out. Watch the
fire area in case fire breaks out again, and
repeat use of extinguisher if necessary.
