Closing all doors helps to contain smoke and fire. Noting the evacuation routes and oxygen shut-offs is important in case the direction to evacuate comes from established channels. Evacuation from the building is determined by the established chain of command or the fire department. Evacuation is done only when necessary. Review of stop, drop, and roll, although important, is not a priority at this time.
