What to Do in a Fire

November 9th every year is the National Fire Safety Day of China (中国消防日). It’s necessary for us to learn more about fire, and know what to do when fire occurs:

* Shout out: If you smell smoke or see fire, shout out “Fire!”. Shout as loudly as you can, because people may be asleep.

* Call 119: Never try to put out the fire yourself, even it is a very small one! Get help from your parents or call 119. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire.

* Keep down close to the floor: If there is a lot of smoke in your room, keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke in the low place, so it’s easy to see where you are going.

* Test the door: Try touching the door before you open it. Touch it with the back of your hand near the top. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If the door is hot, do not open it! Try to find another way out.

* Get out: If you can, get out of the house as soon as possible. Don’t stop to pick up anything. A fire can become very great in a short time.

* Don’t use the lift(电梯): Never use the lift during a fire. It is better to use the stairs because a lift may stop at some floor in a big fire.
