1. Evacuate all staff from wagon immediately, pressing the red gas shut off button on the way out.
2. It is only safe to use fire extinguishers when:
- everyone has been evacuated and accounted for at a safe meeting place
- the fire service has been called
- it is safe to do so considering the size and location of the fire
