7. Call emergency services: Dial the emergency services number (e.g., 911) as soon as possible, providing them with accurate information about your location and the situation. Stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you to hang up. 8. Don't use elevators: Never use elevators during a fire. They can malfunction or trap you inside. Use the stairs instead, if it's safe to do so. 9. Stay calm: Panic can cloud judgment and hinder your ability to make rational decisions. Keep a clear mind and encourage others to do the same.
