Don't panic. WALK to the nearest exit and out of the building.
DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS.
Feel the door or doorknob to the hallway with the back of your hand.
If it feels hot, do not open it - the fire may be on the other side of the door
If the door is not hot, open it slowly. If the hallway is clear of smoke,walk to the nearest fire exit and evacuate via the nearest stairs to the exit.
Close all doors behind you to avoid spread of fire.
Be calm and quiet and listen for instructions from trained personnel and fire fighters.
Everyone is not required to fight fires. Individuals who have been trained in the proper use of a fire extinguisher and are confident in their ability may use a portable fire extinguisher to fight small, incipient stage fires.
