8. Behavior in case of fire
The installation of a heat or smoke alarm detector is only one of many fire protection measures.
Other fire protection measures are e.g. the provision of a fire extinguisher or a fire blanket.
Another measure is the creation of an escape plan and the subsequent discussion with your
roommates or your family.
If the fire cannot be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or a fire blanket by yourself, then leave
the house immediately! Do not waste time to put clothes on or by transportation of personal
objects - because every second counts!
After leaving the house please inform the fire department immediately!
When leaving the burning room, please check first the surface of the door to its temperature.
Should the door be hot or under the door smoke rising up, do not open the door! If possibly please
use another door or a window to escape from the room. If the surface of the door is cold, then
brace yourselves with the shoulder against the door and open it a small gap. Be always careful
and ready to slam the door quickly, if heat or produced penetrates from the next door.
With strong production of smoke please keep close to the ground and breathe - if possibly -
through a cloth. Better still by a damp cloth!
You may enter the house again only after release or permission of the fire brigade!
