Housekeeping Role in Fire Emergency
As a housekeeping team member, you are the eyes and ears of the hotel during emergencies. If you notice smoke, immediately activate the nearest fire alarm. This action alerts the hotel's emergency team, who will investigate the source of the alarm.
Immediate Actions Upon Discovering a Fire
After activating the alarm, call the hotel's emergency hotline to provide additional information to the emergency team. If possible, prevent guests and other team members from entering the fire area. Evacuate yourself and others from the area to a safe location. Close any open doors and windows to contain the fire. The primary goal is to prevent loss of life.

You can help prevent fires by reporting unsafe hazards and practices to your supervisor. When using flammable chemicals, always follow safety instructions. The hotel depends on you to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
