Many, all of them whenever possible. We face so many different situations, though: vehicle accidents, hazardous materials spills, high angle and water rescue situations...
Basically, we firefighters are the "go to" guys/gals for pretty much any emergency situation. Our first protection is our training. We do plenty of it and constantly practise to stay on top of the skills we need.
The second is our brains. We have to stay alert to all around us, usually in a high-sound environment (truck engines, sirens, general scene noise is overwhelming at times), and the third is our equipment.
Our turnouts (Petch clothes) are fire and heat resistant, tear and water resistant, and provide a layered protection. We make sure the floor ahead of us is sound when entering a fire building, by sounding with an axe.
We always work in teams and we always have radio communication. We have many Standard Operating Procedures (S.O.P.'s) that govern what our department considers safe practice for many situations, but when life is in danger we go beyond what normal people would ever do in order to try and save those lives.
My department will not sacrifice F/F lives for an empty building, though; we do not go overboard for empty property and many of us are alive because of that.
There are inside fires and outside fires. Big fires and small fires.
If your clothes catch fire for some reason: Stop drop and roll, covering your face if you can. This should smother the fire. Do not run - it only fans the flame. Jump in the water if you're at the beach or pool.
If there is a big fire inside your house: get out immediately! This is a job for professionals with safety gear and lots of water. Warn others as you go, making sure everyone is out THE FIRST TIME. Do not go back in. Close doors as you go, which can slow the fire down.
Many fires are started each year in the home due to improper care of the fireplace. Over years of use, the chimney can accumulate buildup and needs to be cleaned out. Also, some basic tools for the fireplace can help keep fires contained while burning, as well as the shovel for clearing out ashes regularly can reduce the risk of an unexpected home fire. Another tip is that you can have a fire resistant rug in front of the fireplace to protect against embers popping out of the fireplace and catching something on fire. By adding a few of these simple preventative tools, you can reduce your risk of household fire. If you remove ash from your fireplace or woodstove, dispose of them in a metal container, outside, away from the house. Do not use a plastic bucket or leave them on the back porch!
Keep a small fire extinguisher available (and visible) near the kitchen or any other stoves, so that a small fire can be stopped quickly.

Safety precautions are neccessary. Incorrect use of electricity can cause electric shock and fire. Both are life threatening and a real risk.
safety precautions for a scriber
be aware of where the marked fire exits are.....and possibly note locations of fire extinguishers...
scope standardization in the field of fire safety; fire precautions, fire resistance of building materials, building components structures and tests connected therewith
Yes, they have lots of safety precautions.
A fire drill is an exercise that prepares a group of people in cases of fire to prevent loss of life and limb. The same precautions like no running, no shouting, no riding the elevator and hurried steps are the same precautions used in actual fire situations. There should be no difference as to the precautions used in a fire drill.
