Take a few minutes to plan for fire safety wherever you stay. Know the exits, review your escape route and learn what to do if a hotel fire alarm sounds.
Hotel Fire Safety Helpful Hints
- Choose a hotel/motel that is protected by both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system.
- When you check in, ask the front desk what the fire alarm sounds like.
- When you enter your room, review the escape plan posted in your room.
- Take the time to find the exits and count the number of doors between your room and the exit. Make sure the exits are unlocked, and report it to management right away if they are locked.
- Keep your room key by your bed and take it with you if there is a fire.
- If the alarm sounds, leave right away, closing all doors behind you. Use the stairs, never elevators.
- If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your exit.
