_____1. Evacuate the area or room by going to the nearest exit.

_____2. Do not attempt to go back inside the building until it has been declared safe by the fire
department.
_____3. Do not lock the door to allow others to escape in the same exit.
_____4. Find an area where smoke has not yet reached.
