No matter in the past or now, there are countless casualties caused by fires, so it is very important to develop a good awareness of fire protection and formulate a detailed fire escape planHere are some steps to follow in case of a fire emergency:

• Stay calm and assess the situation: If you hear a smoke detector or see flames or smoke, stay calm and assess the situation. Determine the location of the fire and whether it is safe to evacuate.
• Alert others: If there are other people in the building, alert them to the fire and help them evacuate if necessary.
• Exit quickly and safely: If possible, use the closest exit to evacuate the building. If the nearest exit is blocked by fire or smoke, use an alternate exit. Crawl low under smoke to avoid inhaling toxic fumes.

• Don’t use elevators: Never use elevators during a fire emergency, as they may malfunction and trap you inside.
• Check doorknobs: Before opening any doors, check the doorknob for heat. If it is hot, do not open the door, as there may be fire on the other side.
• Have a designated meeting place: Once you have evacuated the building, go to a designated meeting place outside that is a safe distance away from the building.
• Call for help: Once you are outside and safe, call 911 to report the fire and provide any necessary information to emergency responders.

Remember to practice your fire escape plan with your family, and make sure everyone knows what to do in case of a fire emergency.
