Only trained employees are instructed to respond to incipient fires (fires that have just started).
At this stage you can sometimes extinguish these fires with the proper extinguishing agent and
knowledge of how to use an extinguisher. Remember- ALWAYS GIVE THE ALARM FIRST.
When fires are past the incipient stage the employees are instructed to leave the area to a safe
distance and report this to your supervisor. If the location where you are working has an alarm
system- USE IT. If you have radio or telephone use this system to alert the proper authority.
