 Fire Drill

 Fire Drill

Each of these three elements must be present at

the same time to have a fire. A fire will burn until
one or more of the elements is removed.
Fuel
Any combustible material solid, liquid or gas
Oxygen
The air we breathe is
about 21% oxygen
fire needs only
16% oxygen

Heat
The energy necessary to
increase the temperature of
fuel to where sufficient
vapors are given off for
ignition to occur

Be prepared for a fire emergency

Learn the sound of your building fire
alarm.
Learn your building evacuation plan.
Know where your nearest exit is
located.
Learn how doors swing and move
cautiously in single file.
Make sure you know what to do if the
fire alarm sounds. Follow your leader.

When you hear the fire alarm:

Leave at once, taking direction from

the teacher or leader.
Do not delay yourself by gathering
heavy personal items. Your safety
always comes first.
Before you open any door, feel the door
with the back of your hand. If the door
is cold, slowly open it.
If there is no smoke in hallways or
stairwells, follow your buildings
evacuation plan. Get out quickly using
designated fire exits.

When you hear the fire alarm (continued):

Close doors behind you, however do NOT lock the

door. Locking the door hinders the fire
departments search and rescue efforts.
The stairway will be your primary escape route.
Never, never use elevators under any
circumstances.
Once in the stairway, proceed down to the first
floor and out of the building. Never go up.

If you are trapped in smoke or heat:

Before you open any door, feel the door with the
back of your hand. If the door is warm to the touch,
DO NOT attempt to open the door.
Stuff the cracks around doors with towels, rags,
clothing or tape, and cover vents to keep out smoke.
Stay low to the floor, and if possible, cover your
mouth and nose with a damp cloth or dust mask to
help you breathe.
Call out for help or make sound
if you think rescuers are near.
Conserve your energy.

If you are trapped (continued):

Wait at a window and signal for help.

Do not panic or jump!! WAIT!
If possible, open the window at the
top or bottom, but do not break it,
you may need to close the window
if smoke rushes in.
Be patient. Rescuing all the
occupants of a building can take
several hours.
