Most people do not know what to do during a fire.
And panic can cost lives in seconds.
When smoke fills a room and flames start spreading, every decision matters..
That is why firefighters teach this simple life-saving method:
- R.A.C.E. -
1. RESCUE: Help anyone in immediate danger if it is SAFE.
2. ALARM: Activate the alarm and call emergency responders immediately.
3. CONTAIN: Close doors behind you to slow fire and smoke spread.
4. EXTINGUISH or EVACUATE: Fight the fire ONLY if:
✔ It is still small
✔ You have a safe exit
✔ You know how to use the extinguisher
❌ If the fire is growing or smoke is getting thick:
GET OUT FAST.
REMEMBER THE PASS METHOD:
