8.1 Conduct in the event of fire
•
Do not panic, always remain calm.

see if they are hot. If the door is hot, it can be assumed that there is a fire
behind it. If possible, try to select a different exit in this case.

•
Call the fire brigade as soon as you are safe.

event of fire or what the proper fire safety measures are, it is best to consult a
professional.
