1. Whenever you stay at a hotel or congregate at a venue, it’s always good to know your options in case of a fire. Check for emergency exits, escape routes, evacuation points and layout plans.
2. If caught in a room with fire, Never attempt to break open a window. Fresh air brings more oxygen and causes the fire to spread!
3. If fire is outside your room, soak your furniture and all combustible material with water (if available) to slow down fire from spreading. Keep the door closed and block the door openings.
4. Put a wet towel around your nose and mouth to prevent smoke from entering your system.
5. If you can’t approach the emergency exit due to fire/smoke, stay low on the ground, as smoke tends to rise, and keep close to the wall so that you know where you are going
6. Never use lifts. Lifts can stop functioning if power is cut during a fire or if fire damages the power supply system. Always use the stairs.
7. Never jump out of the building — you won’t survive. Approach the windows to attract attention if you can’t find an exit.
8. Always move to the ground level and not to the roof to exit. Fire can spread to the top and get you stuck with no way out.
