Stay low to the floor if the area fills up with smoke. If you are near a window, signal the fire fighters by waving a bright colored object or call 911 from a cell phone and report where you are so that rescue can be performed. Once you are outside, report from the muster point to the Fire Marshal, to ensure that they can account for all individuals.
