Fire Safety Tips for Downtown Denver?
12/14/2021 (Permalink)
More fires happen during the winter months than at any other time of the year in Downtown Denver. SERVPRO® of Denver North offers these fire safety tips from the American Red Cross:
- Know how to operate a fire extinguisher safely
- Remember to GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL 9-1-1 or your local emergency phone number
- Yell "Fire!" several times and go outside right away. If you live in a building with elevators, use the stairs. Leave all your things where they are and save yourself.
- If closed doors or handles are warm or smoke blocks your primary escape route, use your second way out. Never open doors that are warm to the touch.
- If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your exit. Close doors behind you.
- If smoke, heat, or flames block your exit routes, stay in the room with doors closed. Place a wet towel under the door and call the fire department or 9-1-1. Open a window and wave a brightly colored cloth or flashlight to signal for help.
- Once you are outside, go to your meeting place and then send one person to call the fire department. If you cannot get to your meeting place, follow your family emergency communication plan.
