What To Do In Case Of Fire - ELRO FS201011 Bedienungsanleitung

Practice Fire Safety
If the detector sounds an alarm and you have not pressed the test button, it warns of a
dangerous situation and your immediate response is required. Prepare for such events
by developing escape plans with all family members/household members and
practicing them regularly.
1. Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and explain what the sound
means.
2. Determine two exits in each room and an escape route to the outside from each
exit.
3. Teach all household members to touch the doors before opening them. Instruct
them not to open the door and to use an alternative exit if the door is hot.
4. Teach household members to crawl on the floor to stay under dangerous smoke,
fumes and gases.
5. Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the building.

What to do in case of fire

1. Do not panic and remain calm.
2. Leave the building as soon as possible. Touch doors to feel if they are hot before
opening them. Use an alternate exit if necessary. Crawl on the floor and don't stop
to pick something up.
3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building.
4. Call the fire department from outside the building.
5. Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for the fire department to arrive.
NOTE: These guidelines will help you in case of fire, however, to increase the rate of
safe escape, please practice fire safety rules and avoid dangerous situations.
