What to Do in Case of Fire: A Basic Steps Guide

In the event of a fire, a quick and correct response can make all the difference. Follow these steps to ensure your safety and minimize the spread of the fire.

1. Stay Calm

• Staying calm is essential. Take deep breaths and try to maintain control to act effectively.

2. Assess the Situation

• If the fire is small and you can handle it with an extinguisher or another method, try to extinguish it.
• If the fire has spread, evacuate immediately and call the Fire Service at 199.

3. Use the EXTINGO Fire Extinguisher (If Safe)

• If you have the EXTINGO fire extinguisher nearby and determine it’s safe to use, follow these steps for effective extinguishing:

• Step 1: Remove the Yellow Safety Ring
  Remove the yellow safety ring to unlock the device.

• Step 2: Use the Extension Handle for Safety
  EXTINGO has an extension handle, allowing you to maintain a safe distance from the fire. Hold the handle and aim toward the fire source.

• Step 3: Aim EXTINGO at the Base of the Fire
  Direct the spray at the base of the fire and activate it. The potassium microparticles in EXTINGO immediately react with the fire's free radicals, quickly suppressing the flames.

4. Evacuate and Close Doors Behind You

• If the fire cannot be controlled, leave the area immediately. Close all doors behind you to slow down the fire’s spread.
• Avoid using elevators and use the stairs instead.

5. Notify the Fire Service

• Call 199 and provide accurate information about your location and the fire situation.
• Wait at a safe distance and assist with the evacuation if needed.

6. If You Are Trapped, Protect Yourself from Smoke

• Stay low to the ground, as smoke rises.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a damp cloth to reduce smoke inhalation.
• Close doors and windows to prevent smoke from entering.

7. Follow an Evacuation Plan (If Available)

• Homes and workplaces should have an evacuation plan. Follow the designated routes to exit safely.

Prepare for the Future

• Equip Your Space with Fire Extinguishers: Keep one or more extinguishers in your space and familiarize yourself with how to use them.
• Train Family or Colleagues: Educate them on the basic steps to take in case of a fire.
• Conduct Regular Evacuation Drills to be better prepared in an emergency situation.

Quick and correct action can save lives and reduce property damage. With EXTINGO, you’re prepared to protect yourself and those around you from the danger of fire.
