Fire is an extremely dangerous and sudden disaster, which poses a great threat to people's lives and property. In the event of a fire, the correct self-rescue and escape method is the key to protecting the lives of yourself and your family. Here are some scientific and effective fire self-rescue escape methods to help you make the right decisions in critical moments:
1. Stay calm and alert: In the event of a fire, staying calm is the most important thing. Be alert immediately and quickly assess the situation to determine if it is safe to evacuate. If the fire is too large or the escape route is blocked, the fire department should be alerted immediately.
2. Wear appropriate clothing: In a fire, smoke and high temperatures are the main threats. Choose to wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants to reduce** the likelihood of direct exposure to flames and smoke. If possible, wear a damp towel or mask to prevent inhaling harmful fumes.
3. Low posture escape: Smoke usually rises faster than hot air, so when the smoke is full, you should try to keep a low posture. Crawling or crawling forward reduces the risk of inhaling smoke while also finding more oxygen.
4. Measure the temperature of the door handle: When escaping the room, first check the temperature of the door handle. Touch the handle with the back of your hand, if it feels hot, there may be a fire behind the door, and you should change the escape exit. If the door handle temperature is normal, open the door slowly, but be prepared to close the door at any time to stop the fire from spreading.
5. Find a safe passage: If the fire is blocking the normal escape route, you should look for other safe passages, such as windows or balconies. When opening a window, be careful not to get hurt or scratched by the glass. If you can't escape, you can block door cracks and vents with wet towels or clothing to stop smoke from entering.
6. Pay attention to the escape staircase: If you live in a multi-storey building, the escape staircase is the main escape route. In the event of a fire, do not use the elevator as the elevator may lose power or become trapped at the fire scene. When using stairs to escape, try to avoid crowding and pushing to avoid accidents.
Fire is a dangerous and terrible disaster, but by understanding and mastering scientific and effective self-rescue and escape methods, we can minimize ** and property losses. In the event of a fire, stay calm and act according to the methods described above. Remember, protecting lives is always the number one priority!
