Feel the door handle:

• If the door is hot, do not open it. Go to a window and call for help.
• If the door is not hot, open cautiously, checking for smoke or fire.
• Get out of the building before phoning for help:

Call for help after exiting.
Pull the fire alarm on your way out.
Do not look for other people or gather your belongings:

Knock on doors as you leave.
Yell FIRE as you leave.
Do not hesitate or stray from exit.
Crawl low to the floor:

Thick smoke can make it impossible to see.
Toxic chemicals from smoke can be deadly in minutes.
Close the door behind you:

You may help keep the fire from spreading.
You may protect your belongings from fire and smoke damage.

If you cannot get out:

• Get someone's attention: Yell & Scream!!
• Hang a sheet from the window.
• Stay low, there is less smoke and poisonous gases close to the door.
