Nature has made many powers that are beyond our control. In case these take on, all you need is rescue! Some of these powers are fire, water & air.

For fire, just during construction we plan so many things – smoke alarms, water sprinklers, fire extinguishers, but when it actually takes place…… they may all fail at times.

Come to think of this happening in a school. Who would not have a heart to save the young budding souls. So you must have a plan to save the people in there.

1. This emergency preparation plan for fire involves two things – information & delegation.

2. First & foremost the individual must read the manual. Also as per the written notes, he/she should find out the nearest exits.

3. Usually these exits are given in all the classrooms with lighted signage’s guiding the way.

4. This is also a matter for good discussions among the fellow faculties & staff. One should absorb the tips for improvements in the plan.

5. The plan should be explained to the students in detail, but only once it is finalized.

6. Unfortunately, some people do not consider this as a serious matter and rather stop the others as well from planning & taking the protective matters.

7. With such people it must be stressed and affirmed that they take the planning seriously, else in the time of crisis & emergency it could several lives.

8. The real terror comes due to panic. And the only way to avoid panic is being prepared. Preparedness come with practice.

9. Hence, fire drills must be conducted of a regular basis. Usually, people do it just once a year that means it won’t help you counter the panic part of the game.

10. Delegation depends on the person who first noticed that fire is spreading. This person must beware that his duty does not end until evacuation has not been done.

11. In case you notice smoke emitting from a room, and you suspect that to be fire, make sure not to open the door.

12. Oxygen makes the fire more strong that causes a back draft & a possible explosion.

13. The person must immediately call 911. Along side, he/she must pull the fire switches in order to alert the teachers & students of the danger.

14. The teachers can tell the children to form a queue at the back of the class room & proceed slowly towards the safe fire exit.

15. Fire extinguishers can help you put off small flames, but they are not good enough to handle a big blaze. These are usually situated in the classrooms and / or along side the hallways.

16. Though one must not become a hero unnecessarily, they must also help the others move out.

17. In case of a big fire, the place gets filled with smoke and things are hardly visible. In such a situation, place something to cover your face, and then with the sense of touch try to gauge what’s there in the front.

18. Covering your face would also avoid suffocation to some extent.

19. Do not make use of the elevators in an event of fire. Power might fail and in that case the person would get stuck inside and may die owing to smoke inhalation. So, use stairs as that is the fastest way to leave the premises.

20. In case some person catches fire, put a heavy blanket on the burnt area in order to put out flames.

21. In case a person on the run catches on fire, just stop right there, drop on the ground and roll hard.

22. Next, everyone should meet at an assembling point. They must stay there and wait for some higher authorities to declare that it would be safe to get back inside.

23. Everyone must be acquainted with the emergency preparation plan for fire since that is the only remedy to face a dangerous situation.
