Esil District Emergency Department, Astana Emergency Situations Department: Fire Safety Rules in Crowded Places

What to do if a fire breaks out in a crowded area?

  1. When entering any unfamiliar public place, memorize the exits and escape routes.
  2. Emergency exits are marked with green rectangular or square signs with white symbols.
  3. If you hear shouts of "Fire!" or smell smoke, stay calm and assess the situation.
  4. In case of heavy smoke or no lighting, move along the walls and breathe through a cloth.
  5. Never go against the crowd; avoid walls, railings, or glass barriers.
  6. Stay away from stationary objects to prevent being crushed.
  7. Keep your hands free and secured; avoid picking up dropped items.
  8. Keep your arms bent to protect your chest; you may also clasp your hands in front of you.
  9. Do not fall. If you do, get up quickly or curl up in a fetal position to protect yourself.
  10. Lead children in front of you by holding their shoulders or carry them on your shoulders.
  11. Do not use elevators in a fire; take the stairs. If trapped, move to a safe room and wait for rescue.

Primary Fire Extinguishing Equipment

Fire extinguishers are essential for fire safety. The right choice is crucial, as an unsuitable extinguisher may be ineffective. Fire extinguishers must comply with official fire safety regulations for buildings and vehicles.
