Step Three: Locate another exit in your room other than the front door.

Step Four: study and understand the fire safety information provided in your room as soon as you arrive. It’s usually on the back of the entrance door to the hotel or motel room. If you have any questions, call the front desk.

Step Seven: Ask the people at the front desk what sound the fire alarm makes

Tips & Warnings

(1) If you don’t feel heat, crack open the door and exit, staying low. Close all doors behind you as you go.

(2)To check for heat, place the back of your hand on the door, starting at the bottom of the door, and work up it as high as possible. Then place the back of your hand on the doorknob. Metal conducts heat better than wood; if there’s any heat outside the door, you should be able to feel it.

(3)If the fire alarm goes off during the night, crawl over to the door and check for heat before opening it
(4) If a smoke detector goes off, you literally have seconds to respond. There is absolutely no time to gather possessions. Your best response is to leave the hotel or motel immediately. Never go back into the hotel or motel once you’ve escaped from the fire.
