situation and react accordingly.

the event. Act according to the instructions of the Police.

Use fire extinguishers, buckets of water, dirt, or sand, ( Help others fill water as well. )Don’t force yourself. In the case of fire from oil, don’t use water. It will explode and cause injury.
Quickly escapeIf fire already reaches the ceiling, escape as fast as you can. Don’t panic, and cover your mouth with a wet handkerchief/towel. Keep a low position while escaping, and try not to inhale smoke. Once outside, do not go back inside.
7-3. Fires – outside your home ・ If inside a department store, listen to the
announcements, and evacuate calmly while following instructions from store employees.
・ During hotel stays, always check for 2 or more evacuation routes.
・ Smoke is more dangerous than fire. Stay low to the ground, and cover your nose & mouth with a wet handkerchief/towel.
・ If inside a high-rise building/apartment, evacuate to the ground floor using the stairs.
・ Elevators are stopped, so please refrain from using it. ・ If smoke prevents going to the lower floors, evacuate
