Move to a room with a closing door as far from the fire as possible.
Check any door that you open with the back of your hand to see if the door is hot - do not open a door that feels warm to the touch.

- Ensure those in the general vicinity are aware of the evacuation.
- Evacuate the building quickly and calmly by way of the nearest exit. Emergency Evacuation Floorplans for each building are posted in prominent locations within the building and on the US&A website. Become familiar with the evacuation routes for your building in advance of an emergency in the event you are unable to leave the building through your accustomed exit.
Shut off any major equipment or electronics before leaving, if possible.
Shut doors behind you to reduce the spread of fire.
If there is heavy smoke, stay as close to the floor as possible.

- Escort persons unable to negotiate stairs to area near emergency exit staircase.
After the staircase is clear of traffic, move them onto the landing of the emergency stairwell.
Do not attempt to move them down the stairs.
- If you have information regarding the location of any individuals unable to evacuate the building, provide that information to arriving emergency personnel.
