What should we do if there is a fire in a high-rise building?

Once a fire breaks out in a high-rise building, the fire can easily form a three-dimensional fire by taking advantage of the wind, which is not only difficult to fight, but also difficult to evacuate. This is because there are generally through shafts in high-rise buildings, such as stairwells, elevator shafts, cable shafts, and exhaust pipes. Under fire conditions, these shafts will form a pulling force to aggravate the spread of fire, and even make the whole building form a three-dimensional fire field. After the fire broke out, ordinary elevators could not be used, and people had to rely on the evacuation stairs to evacuate. If smoke escaped into the stairwell, it would seriously affect the evacuation, and it was extremely difficult for people in the building to evacuate in a short time.

block the door

If there is a fire at home, you should go to the door to touch the handle first. If the handle is hot, it means that the fire is not far from the door. Do not go out rashly at this time, otherwise you will be burned by high temperature or choked instantly. The best way is to wet the quilt with water, block the gap in the door to prevent the smoke from entering, and then call 119 for help, or use some obvious objects to call for help at the window.

go out

If the doorknob is not hot, you can try to go out to have a look, but you must put your feet against the door before going out, because if there is a fire outside, it may be overturned by the blast. After going out, if there is no fire outside, take a quick look at the escape route. If there is no smoke, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, bend down and walk forward, keeping your head away from the high-temperature and toxic smoke in the upper air. , quickly evacuate from the escape route.

In addition to the above methods, each of us should have a sense of prevention, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and keep ringing the alarm. Be clear about the evacuation passages and safety exits of the high-rise buildings where you work, live, and consume, and actively participate in organized fire evacuation drills. That way, you won’t feel cornered when a fire breaks out. Everyone is praying for peace. But there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Once the fire came, surrounded by thick smoke, poisonous gas and flames, many people were buried in the sea of flames, and some people survived. “There are only desperate people, there is no desperate situation.” In the face of billowing smoke and raging flames, as long as you calmly and wisely use the knowledge of self-rescue and escape in the fire scene, it is very possible to save yourself. The fire scene is changing rapidly, and there is no fixed way to escape, but remember not to take the elevator, not to be greedy for property, and miss the best escape time!
