Most fires in our area occur in houses and apartments. Fires are often caused by careless or careless handling of fire, especially "drunk" smoking. Fires are often caused by unrepaired electrical appliances. If a fire breaks out house, follow the rules bolow.
- If there is a fire in your home or in your neighborhood, the most important thing is to call the fire department immediately. It will take a few minutes. Even if you don't have a telephone at home, there are no emergencies: you can sound the alarm from a window or balcony.
- Do not leave household appliances unattended. Disinfect a burning household appliance (TV, heater, etc.) first, then call 101. Do not use hand-held electric heaters.
- If possible, try to get out of the front door. It is very important to close the door of the burning room tighter behind you, which will prevent the fire from spreading to all rooms in the apartment.
- If the driveway to the front door is blocked by fire and smoke, save yourself through the balcony. Be sure to close the balcony door behind you. The ground floor can be accessed through a balcony hatch or through a connected balcony with the help of neighbors.
- Another way to escape is through a window. Seal the entrance door to the room with rags and furniture. Once you've heard your screams for help, lie on the floor with a small amount of smoke. It can last for half an hour.
All recommended instructions were given for "various fires". But they can not replace the main thing - first of all, you need to know and follow the simple rules of fire safety.
