Never use water on electric, oil, or grease fires. Water will only spatter the flames.
If you can't shut off the gas before fighting a gas fire, get out of the house immediately.
If you can't remove the fuel from a wood, paper, or fabric fire, cut off its air by smothering the fire with a coat or heavy woolen blanket.
You might also cool the fire with water, a fire extinguisher, sand, or earth.
Distribute fire extinguishers in key areas such as the kitchen, bedrooms, workshop, and garage.
Never spend more than 30 seconds fighting a fire. If the fire can't be extinguished, warn others,
get out of the house, and call the fire department.
Even if a fire is confined to a frying pan or wastebasket, never spend more than 30 seconds fighting the fire. Small fires can grow with frightening speed. Never reenter a burning house for any reason. Leave fire fighting to the professionals as soon as they're on the scene.
