5 Realistic Ways To Save Your Life In An Event Of Fire Breakout.
Try To Get Out Of The Building As Soon As Possible:
When the fire breaks out, where you should be looking at the door of the building. Find a good way out of the building.
If there is fire out in the corridor, don’t take any risks. Wait for the team to arrive or wait for the fire in the passage to end.
Once the area is clear, get out of there. As soon as possible, but safely.
Be Very Careful About The Doors:
When escaping the fire, it is essential to know what’s behind the closed doors. So before you open, it is vital to feeling the doorknob.
Does it feel hot? If it does, move past it! There is a fire behind that thing.
You can wait, and if there is enough time and space, then kneel and try to peek from a distance between the door and the ground. That way, you will further make sure whether there is a fire or not.
BUT, here’s what you need to remember. If you see the fire, stop trying to predict its size and intensity. You may end up underestimating the fire that’s raging behind the door.
And lastly, if you see an open door and the room is on fire, try to close it if it’s safe. It’s better to let a closed-door burn rather than an open one. People will still be able to pass it by under extreme conditions temporarily.
Smoke! Stay Low!
When the room is filled with smoke, stick your head to the ground. This way, you will be able to reduce smoke inhalation.
But, this is where we are assuming that you are in a safe spot. If not, then pay close attention to the nearest exits and utilize all the available resources nearby to clear the way, just enough to make a safe exit.
Use The Fire Extinguisher.
If you are standing near the fire extinguisher, carry it and walk carefully. Use it to your advantage and clear the fire on the go.
But, don’t take apparent risks. Just because you have a fire extinguisher doesn’t mean you can move up and down the building and save the life of every person trapped in there.
It’s one fire extinguisher; use it wisely.
Stay Alert And Utilize The Nearby Resources.
If the fire has caught you off-guard while in your room and there is no way out, go to the bathroom and utilize the shower and bucket to prevent the fire from capturing your room.
The tiled floor will prevent the fire from entering the bathroom. Just be sure to pull the door back inside and keep fighting the fire till the situation get a little less extreme.
Make a safe way out, and don’t get back into the building to fight off the fire. Wait for the firefighting department to come and take control of the situation.
How To Be Prepared If The Fire Breaks Out The Next Time.
- Install the water mist system. It helps to extinguish the fire without showering your stuff with water. It utilized water mists to spread all over in the air to fight the fire at its roots.
- Install smoke alarms on every level of your house.
- Install smoke alarms in every room.
- Keep the fire extinguisher in at least every corridor, and if you can, in the room as well.
- If you and your family are out of the burning house, DO NOT GO BACK FOR ANYTHING.
- Do a little brain training and develop fire scenarios in your imagination. Now think:
– How will you manage to get out of the situation?
– How will you save the lives of those around you?
Fire is neither something to play with and nor something to take a risk with. So, if you happen to be in the building and the fire breaks out, be careful with the whole thing! Take the necessary precautions and make a safe exit. And once you do, be well-stay away until the fire brigade arrive and be prepared for the next time.
Make sure to install the water mist system to fight off future residential and domestic fires in a more strategic manner. Let the ultra fine water mist spread throughout and fight the fire without drenching your personal possessions.
