Fire prevention must be praticed at the office
strikes:
Submitted by NAS Fire and Emergency Services Department
Arson is the most common cause of fires in office buildings,
according to the National Fire Protection Association. However,
even something as commonplace as a computer monitor can cause a
fire. Follow your building’s security measures and keep unautho-
rized people out of the building. Keep doors locked after business
hours. Alleys and other areas around your building should be well
lit. Keep clutter out of halls, lobbies, alleys, and other public areas.
Here are some tips from the NFPA on preventing fires in your
office or work place:
• Keep waste paper, empty boxes, dirty rags, cleaning supplies,
and other combustibles out of exits, storage areas and stairways.
• Replace cracked, frayed or damaged electrical cords. Never
run extension cords across doorways where people can step on
them or where chairs or other furniture can pinch or run over them.
Don’t plug extension cords into each other, and avoid plugging
more than one extension cord into an outlet. Don’t use extension
cords in place of permanent wiring.
• Leave space for air to circulate around heaters and other heat
producing equipment, such as copy machines, coffee makers and
computers. Keep appliances away from anything that might catch
fire. Don’t stack books or papers on computer monitors.
• In the event of a fire, a speedy response depends on how peo-
ple have prepared for emergencies.
Here are some of the things everyone should do before a fire
• Count the doors or desks between your work areas and the
nearist exit. During a fire you, you may have to find your way in
the dark.
• Learn the location of the nearest fire alarm, and learn how to
use it.
• Post the fire department’s emergency phone number on all tele-
phones.
What to do when a fire strikes:
• Sound the alarm and call the fire department, no matter how
small the fire appears to be.
• Leave the area quickly, closing doors as you go to contain the
fire and smoke.
• If you encounter smoke or flames during your escape, use an
alternative exit. Heat and smoke rise, leaving cleaner air near the
floor. If you must exit through smoke, crawl on your hands and
knees, keeping your head 12 to 20 inches above the floor.
• Test doors before opening them. While kneeling or crouching
at the door, reach up as high as you can and touch the door, the
knob and the space between the door and its frame with the back of
your hand. If the door is warm, use another route. If it is cool,
open it slowly. Be prepared to close it quickly if you see smoke or
flame.
• Follow directions given by fire and security personnel. Once
outside, move away from the building, out of the way of fire fight-
ers. Remain outside until a firefighter says you can go back in.
