Fire

A facility emergency requiring an immediate, organized response.

A facility fire is an emergency requiring an immediate, organized response that keeps people safe first. Follow RACE — Rescue anyone in danger, Activate the Alarm, Contain the fire by closing doors, then Extinguish or Evacuate — and remember the order puts people before property. For the extinguisher itself, use PASS: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the flames, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side.
