Correct behaviour in case of fire
Giving an alarm
Notify the fire brigade immediately. Remain calm and answer the
questions you are asked clearly:
Where is it burning? What is burning? How many persons are injured?

Be ready to respond to any further questions of the fire brigade.
Rescuing
Rescue yourself and endangered persons from the danger area.
In case of strong smoke formation keep close to the floor and press a
moist cloth against your mouth and nose.
Do not use any lifts.
Close the doors and windows of burning rooms in order to prevent the
fire and smoke from spreading.
If it is not possible to flee out of the building, find a safe room, close
the door and draw attention to yourself at a window. Seal any gaps at
the door with wet sheets or towels in order to prevent the smoke from
entering the room
Extinguishing
Try to extinguish an emerging fire with an available extinguisher. Small
fires can often be suffocated with a blanket. Never extinguish a fat
fryer with water. Cover the fire with a lid.
If your attempts at extinguishing are not immediately successful,
leave the burning room.
