Basic Response
If you are inside a burning building:
Procedures
• Exit immediately: Locate the nearest exit and evacuate
the building as quickly as possible.
• Pull the alarm: If you discover a fire, activate the
nearest fire alarm to alert others.
• Warn others: Shout "Fire!" to alert others in the vicinity
as you evacuate.
• Feel the door: Before opening a door, feel it with the
back of your hand. If it's hot, do not open it and find
another exit.
• Use the stairs: Always use the stairs during a fire, never
elevators.
Basic Response
If you are outside a burning building:
Procedures

• Call for help: Contact the fire department and
other emergency services immediately.

Fire Emergency Evacuation
A Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan
Plan(FEEP) is a crucial tool for minimizing
damage and ensuring safety during a
fire. However, FEEPs should be
customized to the specific location.
For instance, a house will have
different evacuation needs compared
to a school.
FEEP
