– of course call fire fighters, yell fire to get help but I'll be putting tips if there are no fire fighters or anyone to help.
– know your way out! If you're stuck in a room that's surrounded by flames, close the door put sheets, clothes, anything under the crevices of it so smoke will not get in the room.
– if you see smoke coming out from a door, DO NOT OPEN IT. If the door is warm to the touch, AGAIN DONT OPEN IT.
– Get a cloth or a piece of clothing to cover your mouth and nose, it works better if you wet it, this will help you to not inhale the toxic smoke, smoke and poisonous air hurt more than actual flames.
– if you really need to get out and there are no other escape routes than one with smoke, GET DOWN ON THE GROUND OR STAY LOW when you go through the smoke, Smoke naturally rises so staying low means so you can crawl under most of it.
– if you can, OPEN A WINDOW, but if you cannot stay away from wood, clothes, anything that can catch on f1re.
– if your clothes catch on f1re DO NOT RUN, Stop whatever you were doing, drop to the ground, And roll over back and forth, running will only make it burn faster.
– if you get burnt, cool the burned skin with water for 2-5 minutes and then call for medical attention if you can.
