PANIC IN A BUILDING ON FIRE MAY BE UNCONTROLLABLE. Panic seldom develops even in the presence of potential danger,so long as occupants of building are moving towards exits which they can see within a reasonable distance and with no obstruction or undue congestion in the path of travel. Any uncertainty as to the location or adequacy of means of escape ,the presence of smoke,or fumes and the stoppage of travel towards the exit, such as may occur when one person stumbles and falls on stairs, may be conductive to panic. Danger from panic is greater when a large number of people are trapped in a confined area particularly when people are not adequately guided towards egress and safety notifications are not implemented or practiced. Consideration towards announcements and annunciations need to be given to guide the occupants to safe egress routes and to control panic during situations of distress..
