People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. There are some suggestions:
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. Everyone should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
*Don’t open a hot door. The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
*Stay close to the floor. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
*What should you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop. Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop1 Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.
