Hotel fires can spread fast, especially in large buildings with complex layouts.
The recent hotel fire in the French Alps is a reminder that basic fire safety knowledge can save lives.

1. Know Your Exits First

l Check the evacuation map when you enter a hotel room

l Locate the nearest emergency exits and staircases

l Never use elevators during a fire

2. Fire Extinguishers: When and How to Use Them

Fire extinguishers are for small fires only.

Use them only if the fire is contained and you have a clear exit.

How to use a fire extinguisher (P.A.S.S. method):

l Pull the pin

l Aim at the base of the fire

l Squeeze the handle

l Sweep side to side

If the fire grows or smoke becomes heavy, stop immediately and evacuate.

3. Choose the Right Extinguisher

l Dry powder (ABC) extinguishers are suitable for most hotel fire risks

l Do not use water on electrical or flammable liquid fires

4. Personal Safety Comes First

l Stay low if there is smoke

l Close doors behind you to slow fire spread

l Follow hotel staff and fire authority instructions

Fire Safety Reminder

We hope fires never happen.
But simple preparation and knowing how to use a fire extinguisher can make a real difference.

Stay alert. Stay calm. Stay safe.
