     the Fire Deparment.  Call 9-911 as soon as possible.
3.  If possible, control fire with extinguisher if training or experience or common sense tell you that you
     can. Fight the fire from a position of escape. Take no risk if the fumes from the burning material are
     unknown to you.
4.  Contain the fire by closing hoods and doors when evacuating area.
5.  A person with clothing on fire should be drenched under the safety shower located at exit of each
     lab. Afterward, wrap the person in a blanket to protect against shock.
6.  Do not use elevators to leave the building.
7.  Wait for the Fire Department outside of the main entrance of the building.  Give them as much information
     as possible.  Give them master keys to various lab areas if possible.
8.  Do not re-enter building until Fire Department gives "all-clear" signal.

     that you can. Fight the fire from a position of escape. If the fire is very small, it may be extinguished
     by smothering it with a nonflammable material such as an inverted beaker or watch glass. Take no
     risk if the fumes from the burning material are unknown to you.
   4.Contain the fire by closing hoods and doors when evacuating area.
   5.A person with clothing on fire should be drenched under the safety shower (located at exit of each
     lab). Afterward, wrap the person in a blanket to protect against shock. Use a fire blanket (located in
     the red containers in the main halls) only as a last resort, since it may trap heat and increase the
     severity of a burn.

     in your laboratory.
