Responsive Action - Know the Basics

Accidents can happen and fire accidents can occur even when you practice prevention. When people have been educated about what to do and how to take action in the event of a fire or emergency, they can be responsive instead of reactive and take the important steps that can save lives. In this section you will find basic emergency action information everyone should be familiar with, as well as life saving instructions for specific groups with unique circumstances and needs.
