fire safety principles

Fire safety involves preventing fires and being prepared to respond effectively if one occurs. Key principles include storing flammable materials properly, keeping exits clear, and using electrical devices safely. Smoke alarms should be installed and regularly tested to provide early warning. In case of fire, stay calm, alert others, and evacuate promptly using designated escape routes. Do not use elevators and, if caught inside, stay low to avoid smoke inhalation. Regularly practicing fire drills and having a fire extinguisher accessible can further enhance safety. These steps help protect lives and minimize property damage in fire emergencies.
