常言道:水火无情。可怕的火灾一旦发生,你该怎么办?
Once the fire starts ,we should quickly work out possible ways tostop the fire in order to protect human life and property. Until WorldWar I little official attention was given to fire prevention,for most departments were concerned only with how putting out fires. Todaynearly all large cities have at least a small group of people who arestudying fire prevention.
Once a fire starts, the most important thing is time. If you findyourself trapped in the high rise fire, you cant get out, you shouldmove to the window and the most protected room, carefully open thewindow for air and signal the firefighters"and wait to be rescued bywaving a white sheet. Dont panic and jump. When fire is coming fromthe corridor and you cant go out,you should fill the garbage can withwater and put it in front of the door, keep wetting the door until thefiremen come. If you are caught with fire,you should cover your facewith your hands and roll over and over on the ground. Besides, whenyou use large watts of lights you have to be careful. Meanwhile keeppaper away from outlets. When you are working in the kitchen,do re-member not to throw water on the oil fire. Use a lid to cover the fire. Ifmicrowave oven is on fire, dont open the door, pull the plug and cutoff the electric power. Dont toss the wet food in the hot pan of oil, thesplash of the oil could easily start the fire. Fire is dangerous, but aslong as it is used carefully, it wont cause any trouble to people at all.
