Fire response:
If you notice smoke or fire, contact the WG2015’s Security team, who will then start rescuing and shutdown the fire. After taking this 1st action, following these steps:
- Warn about the danger. Make sure there is no one in a dangerous position nor in a burning building.
- Call the fire brigade by using the number 112. If the Security staff arrives immediately at the scene, they will make the contact with the fire brigade.
- Start putting out the fire using the means you have. Do not act as a hero.
Upon arrival the Security team will take on the responsibility for the emergency until the arrival of the fire-brigade. They will also provide with information of the event to the authorities. However, do not leave the scene, as you may have vital information!

- Buy yourself time by listening and agreeing with the person.
- Do not provoke or let yourself feel provoked. Keep calm.
Congestion response: (eg. someone from the audience being walked on)
