4. Look and smell for smoke and fire. You may be able to exit the stairwell by crawling. There is always less smoke near the floor.

5. Leave your room; close your door.

6. If you are able, pull the nearest fire alarm box.

7. Use exit stairways or fire escapes.

8. Don’t panic; if you see no fire or smoke in the corridor, head to the nearest fire exit and proceed to ground level and out of the building.
