This poster is a complete fire safety checklist, organized as a cycle from before a fire starts to after it is out.

 This poster is a complete fire safety checklist, organized as a cycle from before a fire starts to after it is out.

The big idea

It groups 25 actions under five phases: Prevent, Prepare, Protect, Respond, Recover. The message at the top is Prevent, Prepare, Protect, Respond, Recover, and the message at the bottom is that fire can spread in under 30 seconds, so you may have only 2 minutes to escape. That is why detection and escape come before fighting a fire.

Read it by columns, not across rows. Each column is one phase.

The 25 aspects in 5 groups

1. Prevention: 01 to 05

01 Smoke Alarms: Install on every level, inside and outside sleeping areas. Replace batteries yearly.

02 Kitchen Safety: Never leave cooking unattended. Keep flammables away from the stovetop.

03 Electrical Safety: Avoid overloaded outlets and damaged cords. Unplug appliances when not in use.

04 Heating Safety: Keep heaters 3 ft / 1 m from anything flammable. Inspect chimneys yearly.

05 Flammable Storage: Store gasoline, solvents, and propane outdoors in approved containers.

2. Detection and Alert: 06 to 10

06 Test Alarms: Test smoke and CO alarms monthly. Replace alarms every 10 years.

07 Interconnected: When one sounds, they all sound, alerting everyone even behind closed doors.

08 CO Detection: Install carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas. CO is odorless.

09 Sprinkler System: Automatic sprinklers control fires fast, reducing heat, smoke, and damage.

10 Early Warning Signs: Watch for burning smells, discolored outlets, sparks, or tripped breakers.

3. Preparedness: 11 to 15

11 Escape Plan: Create and share a fire escape plan. Map all routes with everyone.

12 Two Ways Out: Plan two exits from every room, door and window. Ensure windows open easily.

13 Meeting Point: Choose a safe outdoor spot where everyone meets after evacuating.

14 Fire Drills: Practice drills at least twice a year, day and night, until it is instinct.

15 Emergency Kit: Keep a go-bag ready with documents, meds, flashlight, first aid, and water.

4. Response: 16 to 20

16 Call for Help: Once safely outside, call emergency services. Give address and details.

17 PASS Technique: Pull pin, Aim low, Squeeze handle, Sweep side to side at the base.

18 Small Fires Only: Only fight a fire if it is small, contained, and you have a clear escape.

19 Stay Low and Go: Smoke rises, so crawl low and cover your nose. Cleaner air is near the floor.

20 Stop, Drop and Roll: If clothes catch fire, Stop, Drop, cover face, and Roll to smother flames.

5. Protection and Recovery: 21 to 25

21 Extinguisher Care: Inspect monthly. Check pressure gauge and have it serviced yearly.

22 Keep Exits Clear: Keep hallways, stairwells, and exits free of clutter. Doors must open fully.

23 Close Doors: Close doors behind you. Closed doors slow fire and smoke spread.

24 Fire-Resistant Materials: Use fire-rated doors, flame-retardant curtains, and non-combustible materials.

25 Post-Fire Check: Do not re-enter until cleared. Check for hot spots, damage, and air quality.

What to remember first

The bottom banner sums it up: Get out. Stay out. Call for help. Do not go back inside for belongings, do not try to fight a large fire, and do not re-enter until officials say it is safe.

The poster lists 911, 112, and 101 because the emergency number changes by country. Use the one for your area. 🚨🚥🦺🗼🚧🏗️🌡️⛑️⚠️
