Case 1

In January 2022, in a community in Meijiang Town, Ningdu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, the second floor of a private house caught fire, and a family of 5 was trapped. When fire and rescue personnel arrived at the scene, they found that 3 adults and 2 children were curled up at the burglar-proof window of the balcony on the second floor, constantly calling for help. However, due to the fact that the anti-theft window did not open an escape window, the 5 people could not escape immediately, and the firefighters immediately broke the anti-theft window, and the family of 5 was all rescued.

How to escape in the event of a fire in a high-rise building

01

Find out the size of the fire at the first time and call the police, you can judge the location of the fire and the fire situation through the direction of smoke spread or the emergency broadcast of the corridor, and make a decision on whether to stay for help or escape quickly according to the size of the fire and your own environment. Don't run in a panic and run blindly.

02

Before opening the door to escape, you should touch the door with your hands, if the door gets hot, you should not open it easily, otherwise smoke and fire will rush directly into the room. To choose a temporary shelter immediately, it is best to have a water source, close to the window, and seal the door with a wet sheet to delay the spread of smoke. Do not open doors and windows rashly, as toxic fumes can quickly enter the room and cause the fire to spread quickly into the room.

03

When encountering thick smoke, cover your mouth and nose with wet clothes, towels or other available objects, and try to lower your walking posture to prevent smoke from entering the respiratory tract. During the escape, if the smoke is so thick that it is difficult for people to breathe, they can crawl close to the ground.

04

If the fire blocks the safety exit and there is no way to escape, you can call for help on the balcony or rooftop, or use eye-catching objects to attract the attention of firefighters so that they can be rescued in time. You can also use sheets, curtains, or other ropes to slide down a window, or along ancillary facilities such as downspouts outside the building.

When you are trapped on the second floor and cannot escape, you can first throw some soft items such as quilts to the ground, and then grab the windowsill with your hands, and slide down naturally to escape, do not jump blindly off the building, and do not force your way through the smoke and fire area to escape.
