Fire Safety

It is very important to be prepared in case there is a fire. This post will prepare you for this possible catastrophe.

1. Whenever there is a fire, NEVER gather up any of your possessions. Get out of the house as fast as you can.

2. If you see smoke coming out from under a door, don't open the door, because (1) if the handle is metal, it will be very, very hot, and (2) a fire needs oxygen to survive, so opening the door will give the fire more oxygen very quickly, which could cause it to jump out at you and spread.

3. Make sure you have chosen a location to go to in case there is a fire, for example, your mailbox or a neighbour's house.

4. If there is smoke, crawl on the floor to avoid breathing it.

5. If your clothes catch on fire, don't run around screaming. Obey these three instructions: STOP, DROP, AND ROLL. This will put out the fire.

6. ALWAYS STAY CALM.
