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.
