PROCEDURES IN THE EVENT OF A STRUCTURAL FIRE

The highest priority when there is a fire is the safety of people!

1. Attempt to extinguish flames with an extinguisher, only if immediately present and fire is small and under control.

2. Get everyone out of the house or building.

3. Conduct a head count to make sure everyone is out of the building.

4. Call 911. State your name, at Cottage # _____________ Malden Rd, Georgetown and that you are reporting a structural fire. (Cottage numbers are included in the Cottage & Member Directory, Page 7.)

5. Have someone go across the harbor to pick up the first responders from the fire and rescue team. (Large club work boat should be used if time permits, because it has the most capacity and is the most stable.)

6. Alert abutting household(s).

7. Get fire hoses from the lockers in back of the Government Center and lay out from pier head to building. 8. Bring fire pump, on cart beside government center, to pier head. 9. Keep people away from burning structure.
