Be sure to stand next to your closed window so that the rescue group can spot you. If the door is warm, open it slowly to see if it is safe to exit. As flames outside a door can be sucked into the room once the door is opened, stay low and take precautions when opening the warm door. If it appears safe, cautiously enter the hallway. Know the assigned and alternate exit routes.
Elevators are never to be used.
Leave the building in an orderly fashion as soon as possible. Keep lights off, curtains open and door closed. Proceed directly to the designated area and stay together. Be as quiet as possible at all times so you may hear emergency instruction. A head count will be taken.
