hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this heat alarm
may not alert a household member, install and
maintain specialty alarms. Household members
must hear the alarm's warning sound and quickly
respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury,
or death that may result from fire. If a household
member is hard of hearing, install special heat and
smoke alarms with lights or vibrating devices to
alert occupants.
10. What to do in case of fire
1. Do not panic - stay calm!
2. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch
doors to feel if they are hot before opening them.
Use an alternate exit if necessary. Crawl along the
floor and do not stop to collect anything.
3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the
building.
4. Call the fire department from outside the building.
5. Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for
the fire department to arrive.
Note: These guidelines will assist you in the event of
a fire, however, to reduce the chance that fires will
start, practice fire safety rules and prevent
hazardous situations.
