If you suspect that there is a fire, take the following actions immediately; Delaying it can be dangerous:

• Report the fire immediately; either by telephone or by breaking a fire alarm call point;

• Keep close to the wall to avoid disorientation;

• Fill the waste paper bin with water to fight any outbreak of fire in the room;
• Go to the window to attract attention;
• If possible open the window to vent smoke from the room if necessary. Do not break the glass; you may have to close the window to prevent smoke from below entering your room;
• In a smoke filled area keep low and place a wet towel around your nose and mouth to filter the smoke;
• Close the door of the room where the fire is - this will help contain the fire and restrict the spread of poisonous fumes;
• Use the nearest exit to vacate the hotel. Do not use the lifts;
• Before opening closed doors, check them for heat, which may indicate a fire behind the door.
