On discovering signs of a fire you should follow these five steps:
If the alarm system has not already activated, you should raise the alarm by shouting “Fire! Fire! Fire!” then activate the nearest alarm by breaking the glass cover.
1 Alarm
Try to alert people near where the fire is so they can avoid using escape routes near the fire. You can for example shout out “Fire!, Fire! Play lounge!”
2 Alert
If you are trained to use a fire extinguisher and the fire is small enough to be tackled then try to extinguish the fire ( ensure you are competent and comfortable using the extinguisher and you know specifically which extinguisher to use).
3 Extinguish
Remember, if you are unable to put the fire out speedily then you should evacuate immediately.
