#FDNYSmart Tip: Close the door!

Escaping a fire will be very scary, but it is very important to remember to always close the door as you leave the room and building. Closing the door isolates fire and prevents smoke, heat, and flames from spreading to hallways and stairs. In your home, closing a door to the fire area can prevent rapid spread of fire throughout the structure. Closing the door saves lives!
