- In case of fire, ground all elevators, warn and evacuate all individuals in the affected area, and use stairwells for evacuation, assisting disabled, elderly, and children.
- Maintain calm, close doors behind during evacuation, and if trapped, attempt to block openings and seek alternative exits.
- Inform management, protect persons and property, and cooperate with authorities, recording details for the fire department.
- Upon arrival of firefighters, guide them to the fire location, record unit number and supervisor’s name, and follow their instructions.
- After a false alarm, restore building operations and reset the fire panel, and write a report with complete details.
- Different classes of fire extinguishers are used for various types of fires, each requiring specific types of extinguishing agents.
- Fire extinguisher labels provide instructions for operation, and all contents must be used or emptied when pressurized extinguishers are used.
- Water-based extinguishers should not be used near electrical equipment or on electrical fires, and all used extinguishers should be passed to the maintenance department for refilling.
- Wet pipe, dry pipe, and dump systems are common types of sprinkler systems, each designed for specific purposes and operating on different mechanisms.
