Smoke Alarm

If your smoke alarm goes off:

Remain calm and get out.

Feel the door with the back of your hand before you open it. If it is hot, find another way out.

If you see smoke under the door, find another way out.

Drop to the floor to avoid hot smoke and toxic gasses in the smoke. Crawl to safety.

If your clothes catch on fire, STOP where you are, DROP to the ground, COVER your face, and ROLL over and over to smother the flames.

Call 9-1-1 from a safe location.

If you are trapped in a burning building, stay near a window and close to the floor. If possible, signal for help.

Do not go back inside the building unless instructed that is safe to do so.
