Fire escape precautions

There are many factors that cause fires, but in modern society, many people die in fires, so everyone should pay attention to fires. When escaping from a fire, you should master the correct escape method to effectively improve the success rate of escape. Because the dense fog produced after a fire can have a serious impact on a person's trachea and even cause a person to fall into a coma, so what are the correct precautions for escaping after a fire?

1. Precautions for fire escape

1.1. Do not forget to call the police because of panic. After entering a high-rise building, you should pay attention to the passages, alarms, and the location of fire extinguishers. If a fire occurs, press the alarm or make a phone call immediately.

1.2. Do not run downstairs as soon as you see a fire on the lower floors. If a fire occurs on the lower floors, if people on the upper floors run downstairs, it will make rescue more difficult. The right thing to do is to go to the next level.

1.3. Do not delay in clearing luggage and valuables. If you find that the passage is blocked after a fire, you should close the door, open the window and try to escape.

1.4. Do not jump out of the window blindly. When you are trapped in a room by a fire and cannot escape, cover your nose with a wet towel to block the smoke, wait patiently for rescue, and try to call the police for help.

1.5. You cannot escape by taking an ordinary elevator. It is easy for power outages to occur after a fire in a high-rise building. At this time, taking an ordinary elevator may cause it to get stuck, resulting in evacuation failure.

1.6. Do not walk upright when there is thick smoke. When a fire is accompanied by thick smoke, you should crawl on the ground to avoid choking and poisoning.

2. Key points for fire escape

2.1. Stay calm and avoid crowding. After a fire breaks out, people tend to rush to the exits together, causing the exits to be blocked and making escape difficult. Therefore, you should remain calm after a fire and do not blindly follow the crowd.

2.2. You can create a shelter to buy time and wait for rescue.

2.3. If you are upstairs on a low floor and must escape through a window, you should throw some elastic objects down in advance, then secure a rope or a rope made of bed sheets or curtains firmly, and then climb down along the rope.

2.4. If the fire outside is large but there is no burning inside, you should close the door tightly, plug the gap with a wet cloth or something similar, and wait for rescue.

3. Principles for choosing a route for fire escape

3.1. Destination: that is, escape to the place that you are most familiar with.

3.2. Daily habit: escape from the stairs or exits that you use most often.

3.3. Openness: escape towards an open space or a larger space.

3.4. Proximity: Escape to the direction that first comes into view or is closest.

3.5. Instinctively avoid danger: Instinctively move away from fire and smoke.

3.6. Blind obedience: following the direction in which the majority of people escape.

3.7. Self-perceived safety direction: escaping in a direction that one believes to be safe, such as jumping from a low-rise building.

3.8. Rational analysis: that is, being able to calmly analyze the danger, advance and retreat in moderation, have a good basis, and evacuate safely.
