    FIRE-RACE

    by Cathy Parkes November 06, 2019 Updated: September 15, 2021

    FIRE-RACE

    Response to a FIRE: Use the RACE sequence.

    R = rescue (move patients to safer location).

    A = alarm (activate alarm system).

    C = contain (close doors/windows, turn off oxygen sources).

    E = extinguish (use fire extinguisher).

    Check out our Fundamentals of Nursing Flashcards for more information on fire safety!
