In the event of a fire, which of the following is NOT recommended?

Choosing to throw yourself out of the window in the event of a fire is not recommended because it can lead to severe injury or death. Instead, the focus during a fire emergency should always be on escaping safely and effectively. This means using designated exits, following established evacuation procedures, and remaining as close to the ground as possible to avoid smoke inhalation if you need to escape through a room.

Attempting to fight the fire, using a fire extinguisher, and calling for help are actions that can be appropriate under certain conditions. For instance, if the fire is small and manageable, using an extinguisher can help control it, provided one has been trained to do so. Calling for help is essential to ensure professional assistance arrives, and evacuation plans are crucial for ensuring the safety of everyone involved. However, prioritizing safety means avoiding actions that could worsen the situation or endanger yourself further, as would happen with an unsafe exit such as jumping from a window.
