Should you Fight the Fire?

BEFORE YOU BEGIN to fight a fire:

- Make sure everyone has left, or is leaving, the building.
- Make sure the fire department has been called.
- Make sure the fire is confined to a small area and is not spreading.
- Be sure you have an unobstructedc escape route to which the fire will not spread.
- Be sure you have read the instructions and that you know how to use the extinguisher.

It is reckless to fight a fire in any other circumstances. Instead, leave immediately and close off the area.
