Examine the evacuation plan in advance. Once in an unfamiliar building, always pay attention to the location of the main and emergency exits and stairs, the path to them is indicated by arrows. If possible, remember your route, a short way to the exit, it's better to take famous shops or escalators for a landmark. Keep calm. If there is a fire, do not panic. Most high school students, to say nothing of kids, are not able to behave adequately in emergency situations, the adult should control their actions. Do not show your fear to children, mentally take a few deep breaths and orient yourself in space. If you see a fire alarm button on the way, press it. Protect the respiratory system. In case of fire, oxygen is absorbed intensively and carbon dioxide and other toxic gases are released. If smoke appears, moisten the handkerchief or sleeve with water, attach to the face and breathe as through the mask. No water - soak with saliva. Try to breathe superficially, inhale as little as possible.Photo: iStock / Gettyimages.ru Children lead ahead of themselves. Keep them by the shoulders, not by the hands: so it is easier to control the trajectory of motion. In addition, when the child goes ahead of you, there is a lower risk that the crowd will sweep the crowd. You can take the little ones on your hands. Move fast or crawl. Do not run: rapid movements increase the flow of oxygen. If the smoke becomes more, lie down on the floor and crawl as vigorously as possible. Below, the air temperature is lower, lower and the concentration of carbon monoxide. For the same reason, you can not climb higher floors. Do not try to hide and wait. You can not even stay in rooms far away from the fire. Exception - rooms with metal doors, equipped with door closers. Also, you can not hide in cabinets, under the table, behind the front desk. When the firefighters arrive, it will be difficult for them to find you.A photo: Getty Images Do not use the elevator or escalators, they will be disconnected in the first place. Go down the stairs, with poor visibility, hold onto the walls or behind the railing. If there are many people, hold on to those who walk side by side. Move with the speed of the crowd. If possible, collect hair on the go in a bundle or hide under the clothes. Hands need to bend in the elbows, clench fists and rest in the sides, so you will avoid fractures. Even if something is dropped, do not raise it, otherwise you may find yourself on the floor. And if you still fell, quickly get on your knee, put your hands on the floor and push it away. And remember: in case of fire, the main thing is to act quickly, but without panic. Avoid visiting the entertainment center if ... - on one of the floors there are repair works related to the use of open fire: electric welding, gas welding, cutting, - corridors on the evacuation routes are finished with combustible materials, for example, PVC panels, - evacuation corridors and exits are cluttered, - the room is too hot or stuffy. Your sensations can signal that the ventilation system does not work as expected, - poplar fluff walks along the lobby, and in the dressing rooms - dust. This is an indicator of the attitude of the staff not only to cleaning up, but also to fire safety - shops selling perfume goods, watch repair shops and engraving workshops are near exits or near evacuation routes. In the event of a fire, they will burn faster - the balloons are sold in the lobby, and a gas cylinder with a gas cylinder nearby - no fire cabinets, fire extinguishers - open-type lamps using a lamp. As a rule, they differ in refinement and beautiful form, but are not very reliable, - celluloid and other fire hazardous products are exhibited in the windows, - shopping areas are equipped on the staircase areas. On the note: it is good if the building has automatic fire extinguishing systems. In fact, these are pipelines in which water is constantly under pressure. Sprinklers are located under the ceiling, outwardly they look like small cocks.
