What should we do when a fire breaks out
Firstly, stay calm when a fire breaks out. Panic will only make the situation worse and prevent you from making rational decisions.
首先,当火灾发生时要保持冷静。恐慌只会使情况变得更糟,并妨碍你做出理性的判断。
Secondly, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel or cloth to avoid inhaling smoke, which is often more deadly than the flames.
其次,用湿毛巾或布捂住口鼻,以避免吸入烟雾,因为烟雾往往比火焰更具致命性。
What should we do when a fire breaks out
Thirdly, check the door temperature before opening it—if the door is hot, do not open it; instead, stay in the room, block the door cracks with wet cloths, and wave for help through the window. If the door is cool, open it slowly and crawl low to the ground, as smoke rises and clean air is near the floor.
第三,打开门之前先检查一下门的温度——如果门很热,不要打开它;相反,要待在房间里,用湿布堵住门缝,并通过窗户呼救。如果门是凉的,再慢慢打开它,并尽量贴近地面爬行,因为烟雾会上升,而新鲜空气在地面附近。
Finally, never use elevators during a fire; always take the stairs.
最后,火灾时切勿使用电梯;一定要走楼梯。
