Fire safety is important to reduce property destruction, injuries, deaths, and job losses from fires. Proper fire safety training through learning about hazards can prevent fires. People should prepare a fire escape plan, avoid smoking near flammables, and be careful with heat sources. If a fire occurs, remain calm and proceed to exits without using elevators. Stay low and cover your face to avoid smoke inhalation. After a fire, avoid the area unless safe, remove hazardous items, and turn off the main power.
