Panic: It is essential to remain calm and avoid panicking during a fire emergency. Panic can impair judgment and hinder your ability to make rational decisions. Stay focused and follow the appropriate safety protocols.
Ignore the Fire Alarm: If a fire alarm sounds, do not ignore it or assume it is a false alarm. Take every fire alarm seriously and respond immediately by evacuating the premises or following the established emergency procedures.
Waste Time: Time is critical during a fire emergency. Avoid wasting time by gathering personal belongings or attempting to save material possessions. Your safety and the safety of others should be your primary concern.
Use Elevators: Never use elevators during a fire emergency. Elevators can malfunction or become trapped, putting you at greater risk. Instead, use the stairs to evacuate the building as quickly and safely as possible.
