- 1). Stand facing the fire alarm control.
- 2). Grasp the section where it says "Pull" or "Pull down here" with one hand. Note that some fire alarm controls may require you to push in a small panel just above this lever. If so, push in on the panel.
- 3). Pull down the lever all the way. You may hear a pop or cracking sound, as some alarm controls have small cylinders of staining ink inside that will be released onto your hand.
- 4). Proceed quickly to the nearest exit as soon as the alarm sounds.
- 5). Call 9-1-1 from the nearest telephone and report the location of the fire.
