Hotel fire safety

• After checking into a hotel, always find the exits and fire alarm closest to your room. Point these out to the people you are staying in the room with.
• Review the hotel's safety information in your room.
• Do not smoke in bed.
• If there is a fire outside of your room, always feel the door before opening it. If it is hot, do not open it -- telephone for help.
• If you leave your room, take your room key with you so that you can get back into your room if the nearest exit is blocked.
• If you are forced to stay in your room, telephone for help, turn off the air-conditioning and heating systems, and open your window slightly for ventilation.
• To help keep smoke from entering into your room, soak sheets and towels and stuff them under the door.
• Stay close to the floor for the freshest air and hold a wet washcloth over your face.
• Do not attempt to run though smoke or flames.
• Do not use any elevators during a fire. They are electrical and could shut down, trapping you inside.
