in fire Flashcards
to avoid smoking :
crawl under the smoking or stay low
cover your mouth and nose with towel
put towels under the door to prevent the smoke from spreading
dont open the window unless you want to use it
but staying inside while the window is open will hurt you and would never give you breath instead of will help the fire to spread
to open door
cheak the door with back of your hand if thats warm dont open it
during fire can we see?
yes ; if you were crawling because the smoke above you and not in your level
breaking windows is wrong thing why ?
The majority of deaths related to fires are actually caused by smoke inhalation rather than the heat of the fire itself, in fact Michigan State University reported that 50% of people who suffer from severe smoke inhalation die. Knowing this, it can be tempting to break open windows to allow the smoke to billow out of the building, but this is the wrong thing to do.
Breaking open windows allows the fire to gain more access to oxygen which helps the fire grow, which would greatly decrease your chances of escape. By keeping the windows closed you are starving the fire as much as possible.
Opening hot doors is wrong why ?
Doors that are very hot to the touch or have smoke billowing through the cracks will more than likely have a fire on the other side. This means that the door is actually holding the fire back and opening it would only allow the fire to spread. If you find a door that you believe to be safe, open it, but always do so cautiously, with the awareness that it could be dangerous on the other side.
