Prevention

Report blocked exit ways as well as problems with sprinklers, alarms and emergency lighting.
Don't pinch extension cords under furniture.
Report frayed electrical cords.
Carefully store flammable liquids if they are used in your workplace.
Give heat generating equipment room to breathe. Don't stack papers on devices such as computer monitors.
Unplug coffeemakers and other small appliances before everyone leaves for home.
Make sure your exit ways are not blocked by trash, boxes or other potential impediments.

Make sure everyone is out or leaving the building and the Fire Department is on the way before you consider using an extinguisher.
Fire extinguishers are only good for fighting small fires.
Ensure that you are using the right type of extinguisher for the fire you are trying to put out.
