If there is a fire

What to do?

How to evacuate correctly?

Follow the evacuation signs

When it is impossible to distinguish the direction of escape, you must follow the direction of evacuation signs, evacuate in an orderly manner, and do not run and crowd to avoid stampede accidents.

Homemade equipment to escape

After a fire breaks out in a densely populated place, there are many escape tools that can be used. For example, soak towels and curtains to cover your mouth and nose as smoke prevention tools, and use ropes, carpets, and curtains to open up escape routes.

Use buildings and facilities to escape

Escape can be made using downspouts, protrusions outside the house, and windows leading to the outside, or move to a safe area to find an escape opportunity. It is necessary to be bold and careful, especially when there are many old, weak, sick, disabled, women, children, and other personnel in the hospital, and we must not blindly engage in it, otherwise casualties will easily occur. Don't jump off a building to escape.

Find a shelter to escape

When there is no way out, you should actively seek refuge. For example, go to the balcony or flat roof of the floor to wait for rescue, choose a room where fire and smoke are difficult to spread, such as toilets, security rooms, etc., close doors and windows, and block the gap. No matter day or night, the trapped person shouts for help when conditions permit, and constantly sends out various distress signals to attract the attention of rescuers and help them escape.

During the escape process, prevent smoke from entering the mouth

Use firefighting self-rescue breathing apparatus to protect the head, and adopt the method of walking or crawling in a low posture to reduce the harm of smoke to the human body. When escaping the smoke zone, be careful to run towards bright spots or open areas outside, and try to run down floors, as the fire mainly spreads upwards.
