Fires can be devastating since they can move very quickly and cause a lot of damage in a short period of time.

The most important thing to remember if a fire breaks out is to remain calm. You will want to remove anyone who is in immediate danger and focus on getting them to safety.

If you have to open a closed door, use the back of your hand to feel the door and knob to make sure it is cool to the touch before opening.
