In case of fire:

• The first thing you need to do is stay low and leave the building immediately!
  
• Don't stop to take anything with you.
  
• Never go back into a burning building.
  
• Call 9-1-1 from a neighbor's house.
  
• Never attempt to put out a fire yourself, no matter how small it is!
  

Here are some important fire safety rules.

• Never play with matches or lighters.
  
• Never handle gasoline or other liquids that burn.
  
• Always be careful around a stove, heater or open fire.
  
• Don't cook without an adult being present.
  
• If something catches on fire, get adult help or call 9-1-1 or "O" for operator.
  
• Don't hang up until you are told to do so; listen for instructions.
  

Someone's clothes are on fire!

• If YOUR clothes catch on fire, "Stop, Drop and Roll!"
  
• If your friend's clothes catch on fire, don't let him or her run; yell, "Stop, Drop and Roll!"
  
• Once they are down and rolling, you can use a rug, blanket, towel, or other heavy cloth to help put out the flames on their clothes.
  
• Get adult help or call 9-1-1 or "O" for operator.
