The first step of fire response is to ensure personal safety by assessing the situation and determining whether it is safe to act. If safe, the next action is to alert others and call emergency services. If the fire is manageable and you are trained, you can attempt to extinguish it using an appropriate fire extinguisher. However, if the fire is large or spreading quickly, evacuating the area immediately is the priority.
In the event of a fire, first, remain calm and assess the situation. If the fire is small and manageable, attempt to extinguish it using a fire extinguisher.
