Fires

It is possible that a fire will happen since we are using flammable materials in this lab. The most important thing to remember in a fire is to remain calm.

If you see a fire, the first thing to do is shout as loud as you can FIRE. Follow the instructions of your TA, and or the stockroom as well as anyone from the fire department, and or the police department.

If the fire is small, it can usually be put out with the fire extinguisher.

If your clothes have caught fire, it is important that you get the flames smothered as quickly as possible by the fire blanket.
