• Smoke rises, so stay low or crawl on the floor in the cleaner air where it’s easier to breathe.
• Do not stop to collect any valuables or possessions.
• Do not stop to look for pets.
• If possible, close the door to the room where the fire is located and close all doors behind you as you leave (to delay the spread of fire and smoke).
• Before opening a closed door, touch it with the back of your hand; do not open it if it feels warm – the fire will be on the other side.
