A fire can happen anywhere and it’s important to always be prepared for what you would do if you had one in your home.
📍Prevent house fires 🔥
👉Unplug Items You're Not Using.
👉Use Surge Protectors.
👉Never Leave Flames Unattended.
👉Keep Flammable Items Away From Heat.
👉Don't Smoke Inside the house
👉Buy a fire extinguisher. Then, learn how to use your fire extinguisher.
👉Teach children the basics of fire safety and how to prevent fires.
👉Always keep matches, lighters, and other fire hazards out of the reach of children.
👉Keep flammable items at least three feet away from anything hot.
👉Always stay in the kitchen while cooking in case something catches fire.
👉Remember to shut off your stove after cooking.
📍What to do during a house fire
Here are the most important things to do during a house fire:
👉Stay calm and stay low
Above all, stay calm. We know it’s hard with the smoke, heat, and the smoke detector blaring. Panicking can make you forget the steps you need to survive, though.
If there’s already a lot of smoke, stay as low to the floor as possible. Heat rises, so staying low keeps you cooler and keeps you below the smoke so you can breathe easier. If you can’t get below the smoke, cover your mouth with clothing or a towel and crawl on your hands and knees to the nearest exit.
👉Why keeping low is important
In fires, smoke and heat are often more dangerous than flames. House fires can cause areas near the ground to reach 100℉ and up to 600℉ near eye level. Asphyxiation from smoke and toxins in the air is the leading cause of fire deaths.
👉If you catch fire, the stop, drop, and roll guidelines you learned in school still apply. Stop, drop to the ground, and roll around to smother the fire. Cool any burned skin by pouring water over it for three to five minutes.
👉Extinguish the fire if you can
If a fire starts in your home, call the fire department immediately while assessing if you can put the blaze out yourself. Go with your gut. If there’s too much smoke and a lot of heat, get yourself to safety.
👉Yell “fire!”
As soon as you realize there’s a fire, let everyone in the home know by yelling “fire” several times as loudly as you can.
👉Get out
The only non-replaceable items are people and pets. Resist the urge to grab your laptop or jewelry. Instead, attend to family members and pets first. Rank them in order of who needs the most help (e.g. a baby or disabled family member).
If there’s enough time, you can gather important documents like your driver’s license, birth certificate, marriage or divorce certificates, and photo albums. If there isn’t, forget about it. Preserving life is much more important than saving electronics or personal effects.
👉Be careful about opening doors
Don’t walk into any room without touching the doorknobs first. If there is heat, it’s probably not safe to enter. Opening doors can also increase airflow and accelerate the rate the fire spreads. Close the doors behind you as you leave.
Once everyone in your family is out of your house, stay out. Don’t go back inside for anything—it’s too dangerous! The firefighters will be able to go back inside to save anything they can. That’s what they train for, and they have gear to protect themselves.
Also, remember to stay back. Explosions are uncommon but could cause you to become injured if you’re too close.
👉Read and Learn. Sabi nga ni Kuya Kim, lamang ang may alam.
‼️Stay SAFE everyone‼️
