Feedback:
If a fire occurs, the nurse should rescue the client to safety. "Mr. Red," "Dr. Red," and "Code Red" are commonly used to denote fire. "Code Pink" is used to denote a missing baby. The disaster medical assistance team (DMAT) provides assistance and support outside healthcare facilities by setting up temporary hospitals. Use of a fire extinguisher is the last step in the fire-fighting operation after necessary rescue operations, alarm, and confinement of the fire to a particular area.
