What never to do if you hear a fire alarm?
If you hear a fire alarm, never ignore it or assume it's a false alarm. Avoid using elevators, as they may become inoperable or lead you to unsafe areas. Don't gather personal belongings or hesitate to leave; prioritize your safety and exit the building quickly. Finally, refrain from returning until authorities have confirmed it is safe to do so.
What should I do if I hear a single beep from the fire alarm?
If you hear a single beep from the fire alarm, it could indicate a low battery or a minor issue. Check the alarm to see if it displays any specific messages or lights. If there are no signs of danger like smoke or fire, you can try replacing the battery or contacting the building maintenance for assistance. If you are unsure or concerned, evacuate the building and call emergency services for help.
What should you do when you hear the intermittent alarm?
When you hear an intermittent alarm, first assess the situation to determine the nature of the alarm.

How would you raise the alarm if you discovered a fire?
It depends upon where the fire is, among other things. If the fire is in the woods, you would try to contact the local fire department or forestry officials. If the fire is in a commercial building, there may be fire alarm pull stations near the exit doors and one of those should be activated as soon as possible. If the fire is in a dwelling, there may be smoke alarms (23 percent of which don't work due to dead or missing batteries), and additional alarms can be raised by shouting "fire", blowing a whistle, banging on walls and doors, ringing the doorbell and banging on anything else that will make noise. This may be an ineffective alarm for anyone who is deaf. Many buildings and homes have alarm systems connected to monitoring systems that will contact the fire department for an emergency. Some cities install and maintain "fire boxes" located on buildings or on posts in near the streets, where opening a door and pulling a switch sends a signal to the fire department. Obviously, the way to "raise the alarm" with the fire department varies somewhat by jurisdiction, but many places have a standardized number, such as "9-1-1" to dial for help on a telephone. Other places (such as in Europe) use 999 or 112 for fire. Each country has its own standards, if any.
How to reset a smoke alarm after changing the battery?

What do you do if you hear a smoke alarm in your house?
If you hear a smoke alarm, everyone inside the building should be evacuated to a safe area (assembly point). If smoke or a fire is present, the emergency services should be alerted using a mobile phone or the neighbours telephone. No one should enter the building to collect valuables or pets. This is the job of the fire crew. If you are trapped inside the building call for help out of a window. This will attract attention and you will be helped. If you are trapped in a room, always check the temperature of the door handle before opening the door, as the fire could be on the other side. If the door handle is hot, place a fabric in the gap between the door and the floor at the bottom to prevent smoke from entering. If the door handle is cold, proceed out of the room, looking out for the fire. Keep low, as the smoke will rise, stopping you from inhaling smoke. Leave the building as soon as possible.It is always good to set out an assembly point with your family in case of any fires.NEVER RISK YOUR LIFE TO COLLECT ANY VALUABLES OR PETS AND CALL 911/999 IMMEDIATELY!
What will you do when you hear a fire alarm in ships?
If there is a fire on board a ship, I would jump off the ship and tell others to do the same, to save myself and them. Walk in an orderly fashion to the fire point, nearest to your cabin, then await further instructions from who ever is in charge.
