What action does the 'Rescue' component in RACE prioritize?

The 'Rescue' component in RACE prioritizes evacuating individuals in danger as the primary action. In a fire safety context, this is a critical first step to ensure the immediate safety of those who may be trapped or at risk due to the fire. The focus is on getting people out of harm's way before addressing other aspects of fire response, such as alerting others or fighting the fire.

Understanding the importance of prioritizing rescue can help save lives during emergencies, emphasizing that while all components of RACE are essential for comprehensive fire safety management, rescuing those in immediate danger takes precedence. This approach aligns with standard emergency protocols where human safety is the paramount goal that must be achieved before further actions can be effectively undertaken.
