As a matter of facts, as an individual, you are exposed to hundreds and thousands of risks and dangers every other day. One of the common risks that are prone to occur any time is of course fire accident. Fire is a big monster that has claimed lives of hundreds and thousands of people.

The department of UK's public safety has made it a rule for all property owners to make sure that they have installed fire exit signs in their premises. These signs are located in strategic locations to offer guidance and direction to people during the evacuation process in the event that the building is on fire. In most cases, fire exit signs are made of materials that cannot catch fire easily and a material that can be seen at a distance even if the room is filled with smoke. Therefore, you must be familiar with such kind of exit signs so that it can assist you to move out of a burning building safely.

Therefore, there are high chances that you can trapped inside the elevator, which narrows your chances of survival.

#2. Fire exit signs direct you to use stairs at all times in case the building is on fire. Indeed, most buildings in the UK have well-labelled fire exit signs prompting people to use stairs.

#3. In case you are trapped in the building, you are required to break the door. Indeed, some buildings have doors labelled ??break the window/door in case of fire.'

#4. As soon as you have moved out of a burning building, the final fire exit sign requires victims to assemble at some point for head-count. This is very important so that rescuers can offer first aid in case you are injured.
