Close the Door on Fire - Apartment or High-rise

  • Learn and practice your building’s evacuation plan, which should be posted on every floor of your building.
  • Leave immediately if you hear a smoke alarm.
  • Know the location of all building exits and fire alarms.
  • Do not go back inside once you’ve escaped a fire.
  • Use the stairs — never use elevators during a fire.
  • Report any locked or blocked windows or doors to your building’s management.
  • Follow instructions announced over your building’s public address system, if applicable.
  • Keep a portable phone with you during a fire emergency.
  • React immediately if you are trapped. Seal vents and cracks around doors with a wet cloth. Call the fire department, tell them where you are and signal from a window with a flashlight or light-colored cloth.
  • Be patient; evacuating large buildings can take hours.
  • Do not assume that you can or will be rescued from the roof.
