Answer 1

Before entering the closed room, the cert members should assess the situation first. They should gather information in order to determine if it’s safe to go or if needed assistance to the current situation. They should consider some probabilities before they establish the decision and take an action. Especially to the current situation where there is a possibility that the smoke that they smell is coming from the room and the reason may be because there is a fire. Assessing the situation before taking an action immediately is a must, in order to prevent further harm.
