What is the recommended action when noticing a fire on the site?

When noticing a fire on the site, the recommended action is to notify the FDNY. This is critical because trained firefighters have the expertise and equipment necessary to handle fires safely and effectively. Immediate reporting ensures that professional assistance is dispatched quickly, which is essential in controlling the fire and preventing it from spreading, potentially causing further damage or endangering lives.

Attempting to extinguish the fire immediately might be tempting, but it can be risky, especially if the individual is not trained or if the fire has already grown beyond the size that an untrained person can manage safely. Leaving the area without reporting the fire could lead to delays in response, increasing the danger to others and exacerbating the situation. Ignoring the fire would be highly irresponsible and could lead to catastrophic consequences, as fires can escalate rapidly if not promptly addressed. Therefore, promptly notifying the FDNY is the best course of action to ensure a safe and effective response to the fire incident.
