1: If there is a fire, don't panic. Stay calm. Shout "Fire!" several times, and go outside right away. 2: DO NOT hide from a fire. The firefighters can find you more easily if you are not hiding.
3: Feel doors before you open them. Touch the door with the back of your hand. If it the door is not hot, open it carefully. If the door is hot, DO NOT OPEN IT! Exit through the window instead. If you can't get out through a door or window, hang a sheet out of your window so that firefighters can find you faster.
4: If the room you're in is full of smoke, get down on the ground. If a room is smokey on your way out, crawl instead of walking. Smoke rises, so the air will be less smokey near the floor. 5: If your clothes catch on fire, STOP, DROP and ROLL on the ground to put the fire out.

 

6: Make sure your family has a emergency meeting place outside. Never go back into a burning building! When you and your family are safely out of the house, call the fire department or 911.
