The National Fire Protection Association's key word for action is "RACE.". R = Rescue anyone in danger. A = Sound the alarm. C = Contain the fire by closing doors or windows. E = Extinguish/evacuate. Extinguish the fire if possible; if the fire is too large to extinguish, start to evacuate anyone in the fire's path.
