At your workplace in Australia you will have to learn what to do if there is a fire. This is called a fire drill. There will be someone in charge and he or she will give orders. There will be other people helping this person if you work for a big company. The whole idea is to make the workplace become safe for everyone to work. The person in charge when there is a fire is called a fire warden. He or she must have special training on what to do in a fire emergency. They also learn that not all fires are the same. If you use the wrong fire extinguisher, you can make the fire get bigger and the problem get worse.
It is important to know what to do if there is a fire. You have to think quickly and take actions. Smoke inhalation can make you faint and this can put your life in danger. At your workplace you will have a fire training every year. They can ask you to take a test too in order to see that you understand what is learned.
If there is a small fire at your workplace and you can handle it, do something immediately. If the fire is too big for you and is dangerous to people in the building, get out straight away. Alert other people around you about the fire. This can be done by shouting in most cases. Help other people if it is safe for you to do so. Remember not to put your life in danger. Don't think of waiting a few moments to collect your belongings. Your life is much more important than this. Call 000 and tell them about the fire. Give them your name and the address of the fire. Wait for them to arrive outside the building and guide them to where the fire is.
In big businesses there are always advanced alarm systems installed. These systems alert the fire brigade if there is a fire. The fire brigade always comes as soon as they can. This can only take 2 minutes sometimes. Firemen come and start working straight away. They come in two trucks. If there is afire, they do their best to put it out. They don't charge money for their service. If there is no fire, the business can pay up to 5000 dollars. That is why all businesses have insurance.
