I. What do you do when a fire breaks out?
When you Discover A Fire:
Fight the fire only if you are able to and without endangering yourself and others.
Ways of extinguishing a fire include:
- Using a suitable fire extinguisher
- Using a hose reel
Notes:
- Use water on burning papers, wood and fabrics but never on flammable liquids such as oil, as this will cause the fire to spread.
- It is generally safe for occupants of residential buildings to stay in their respective residential units with the windows and doors closed unless they stay on the fire floor, or two floors immediately above the fire floor.
