Fire-fighting procedures are essential steps taken to control and extinguish fires safely. First, it is crucial to assess the situation and call emergency services, such as fire departments, if the fire is beyond control. Use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small and manageable, aiming at the base of the flames. Next, evacuate the area immediately, ensuring everyone is accounted for. Follow designated escape routes and avoid using elevators. Once outside, stay at a safe distance and do not re-enter the building until authorities declare it safe. Always prioritize personal safety and the safety of others during a fire emergency.
