The value of fire prevention
should never be underestimated. Unfortunately, there can be scenarios when
fires are already unavoidable. Today, we discuss some points to remember when
fire emergencies are already upon you.
React
As soon as you hear an alarm
going off, react. Far too often, people fall into complacency and think that it
may just be another false alarm. Always treat each alarm as the emergency that
it can be. Make sure to yell out to nearby neighbors, especially if it’s
nighttime. Fires can spread easily so it concerns them too.
Don’t panic
While it is definitely a case of
“easier said than done”, try to be level headed as much as possible. Gather
your wits after the initial shock and get to safety. Giving in to panic can
only put you in even more risk. It also wastes precious time, which can
otherwise be spent helping and saving others or even preventing the fire from
spreading further.
Prioritize
Remember that your life and those
of your loved ones, should be your highest priority. Forget about material
possessions and heirlooms. You can always replace them. Your only concern
should be getting yourself and your family members to safety.
Stop, drop, and roll
You should know the safety drills
by now. In case your clothing catches fire, be quick and do this fire safety
drill as it just may save your life. Flailing and running around only serves to
worsen the fire. Make sure to cover your eyes to protect yourself while
rolling.
In emergencies such as fire
outbreaks, it is only natural to momentarily lose your nerves. Remember that
while it is a good idea to do what you can to stop the fire from spreading, you
should always have a “safety first” mindset.
