Fire can be a very dangerous thing and is very unpredictable, this is why it may cause panic in the if you are at the scene of one. The first step in when a fire is happening is too let everyone in the building know what is going on, you do this by raising the fire alarm for everyone to hear, and then for someone to ring emergency services. Although it may cause panic and distress it must be done so people start evacuating the building. However the health care professional must not leave the building because their duty of care is to look after the service users therefore you must help people who are less able than you for example, disabled, small children, restricted mobility, hearing/visual impairments and the elderly. Removing the service users from the care home or wherever you are could be a difficult task because many may be restricted from mobility. The first individuals that should be taken out in the act of a fire is people that can walk and don’t have mobility issues.
