What to do in the event of fire and evacuation

When a fire breaks out, everything can change in a matter of moments: smoke fills rooms, visibility drops, heat rises and stress mounts. At times like these, it’s hard to think calmly.

Knowing what to do in the event of a fire and how to carry out a quick, orderly, and safe evacuation is essential to avoid mistakes, protect occupants, and limit the consequences. A fire can also cause minor injuries or disorientation due to smoke. Having a First aid kit within easy reach can help once everyone is safe, and a ready-to-go 72-hour emergency kit allows you to leave quickly without wasting time.

This PDF guide has been designed to provide clear answers to the question: what to do in the event of a fire and how to evacuate, immediately and safely?

Simple, structured, and quick to read, it guides you step by step with concrete, easy-to-follow instructions.
