What To Do

1

Evacuate immediately

If the vehicle is on fire: pull over, turn off the engine, and GET OUT immediately. If at the hub: evacuate the building using the nearest exit. Do not use elevators.

2

Call 911

Call 911 immediately. Provide your exact location and describe the fire (vehicle fire, building fire, size, any people at risk).

3

Move to a safe distance

Move at least 100 feet away from the fire. Vehicle fires can cause fuel tank explosions. Gather at the designated assembly point if at the hub.

4

Account for all personnel

If at the hub, managers should account for all employees at the assembly point. Report anyone missing to the fire department immediately.

5

Do NOT attempt to fight a large fire

Only use a fire extinguisher on a small, contained fire if you have been trained and can do so safely. If the fire is spreading or you are not confident, evacuate and wait for the fire department.

6

Contact your supervisor

Notify your Operations Manager immediately. If the fire is at the hub, Senior Management must be informed right away.

7

Do NOT re-enter the building or vehicle

Do not go back for personal items, packages, or equipment. Wait until the fire department gives the all-clear before re-entering.
