Which acronym represents general procedures to implement during a fire?

RACE
SAFE
ALERT
FIRE

The correct answer is: RACE

The acronym RACE stands for Rescue, Alarm, Contain, and Extinguish. This set of procedures is a widely recognized protocol to follow during a fire emergency, guiding individuals on how to respond effectively. Rescue involves ensuring that anyone in immediate danger is moved to safety. Alarm emphasizes the importance of notifying others in the facility about the fire, often by activating alarm systems or calling 911. Contain is about preventing the fire from spreading by closing doors and windows, which helps to confine the fire to a specific area. Finally, extinguish refers to any action taken to put out the fire or control it until professional help arrives, using fire extinguishers if it is safe to do so. Understanding and utilizing RACE can save lives and minimize damage during a fire emergency, showcasing the importance of proper training and protocol adherence in correctional environments where safety is paramount.
