Know your emergency exits

We had a small fire at work the other day. This is the first time in my life that the fire alarm went off and it was not a mistake but an actual fire was burning in the basement of our building. The fire was caused by an short circuit in an old wire supplying power to one of the emergency exit signs. Talk about irony, hey?
The fire department showed up after a few minutes and took care of the small fire that put the entire building into danger. The firemen were efficient in handling the situation as they should. What surprised me the most was the inability of my coworkers to leave the building once the fire alarm sounded. They were confused about the proper procedure and many were even questioning as to whether they should actually evacuate or not. I think for safety reasons, people should always be familiar with the proper procedures for emergency situations including knowing the emergency exits and location and operation of the fire extinguishers.
