Tips for hotel fire safety

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

In an event there is a fire in your hotel; and after you touch your door and it is WARM you have no choice but to remain in your room until help arrives. If smoke is affecting you, get down low, kneel down on your hands and knees as(smoke rises) and cover your face with a wet towel. If you have the opportunity to leave your room, (door is cool) try to look for any staff member (maid, etc.) roaming on your floor. Follow them out, as they are well aware of easy exits and have the best knowledge of what is the best way out..Guests sometimes are just as confused as you are, so following staff out is the better choice, usually. Also, try to stay on lower floors in hotels when traveling, as firefighter ladders can only climb so far, safely to rescue you, and especially if you are on floors 10 and up (you'll be taking a risk); although firefighters always do their best to try and help all.....good luck..and have a safe trip..
