In the event of a fire in a high-rise residence, residents need to stay calm and act quickly to ensure their own safety. Here's what to do in case of such an emergency:
1.Immediately call the police: After discovering a fire, immediately call the fire alarm** and report the location and situation of the fire to the fire department.
2.Safe escape: Stay calm as much as possible and leave the disaster site quickly through a safe escape route. Avoid using elevators and instead choose stairs for escape. During the evacuation, keep your head down to avoid the smoke and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel or clothing to prevent inhaling harmful gases.
3.Close windows and doors: When leaving a room, closing windows and doors can reduce the rate at which the fire spreads and reduces the impact of the fire on other rooms.
4.Test the doorknob: When touching the doorknob, you should first feel it with the back of your hand to confirm if there is significant heat. If the doorknob is overheated, it means that there may be a fire behind it and you should avoid opening the door.
5.Evacuation: If the escape route is blocked by fire, you can choose to take shelter in the nearest safe room, seal the crack in the door with a wet towel or clothing to prevent smoke from entering, and signal to the window or balcony for rescuers.
6.Protected Escape: During the escape process, try to protect your head from being hit by falling objects. If you are wearing pajamas, try to cover your head with a damp towel or clothing.
7.Avoid damage: Avoid using water to extinguish fires to avoid electric shock or exacerbation of fires. Also, do not insert textiles in the cracks of the door to prevent the spread of fire.
8.Wait for rescue: Wait for rescuers to arrive in a safe place, and try to provide your location and condition so they can rescue.
