People know the dangers of the fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
★ Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes it to go off. Then it makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
★ Make escape plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
★ Buy the extinguishers (灭火器). Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
★ Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should obey the following fire rules.
★ Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★ Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn
First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns fast because of moving air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep the air away from the fire that may still be on you.
