How to escape from a big fire in a shopping mall in Russia
4hw.com.cn: a major fire broke out in the 'winter cherry' shopping center in Kemerovo, Russia, killing 64 people. Many of the dead and injured were children's shopping centers, which were densely packed with goods and were inflammable. Everyone should be aware of the evacuation channels and safety exits of high-rise buildings for their work, life and consumption, and actively participate in the organized Fire fighting and evacuation drill, so that the fire will not feel desperate. How to deal with the fire in the crowded place?
Early fire alarm
If the high-rise building is on fire, dial 119 first in case of fire. Explain the location of the fire, the name of the unit, the size of the fire, whether there are people trapped, etc., and arrange personnel to pick up the fire truck at the intersection.
Don't open the door blindly if the door lock is hot
The principle of high-rise building fire escape is to keep calm and not panic after the fire. When the fire is very small, use the fire extinguisher and the building's fire-fighting facilities (indoor fire hydrant) to put out the fire at the first time, and call the surrounding personnel to participate in the fire-fighting and alarm; if the fire in the building is difficult to control, evacuate the fire site and alarm as soon as possible. Touch the door lock before opening the door. If the door lock temperature is very high or there is thick smoke drilling from the door crack, it means that the fire or smoke has blocked the door exit. At this time, the door must not be opened, but should retreat to the room, close all doors and windows in the room, plug the door gap with towels, quilts, etc., and splash water to cool down. At the same time, use mobile phones and other communication tools to alarm in time.
Use the evacuation of high-rise buildings to escape
When escaping, try to use the smoke proof stairwell, closed stairwell, corridor with external windows, and indoor descent device, life-saving bag, safety rope and other facilities. To prevent choking smoke, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel when escaping, and lower your posture as far as possible to guide the evacuation of the old, weak, sick, pregnant women, children and people who are not familiar with the environment, help each other and escape together. Stairs and other safety passages are equipped with emergency indicator lights as signs. In case of fire, escape by following the indicator light.
Take refuge in the building
Refuge layer: the high-rise building with more than 100 meters is equipped with a refuge layer. In case of fire, you can enter the refuge layer for refuge.
Roof platform: if the fire point is located at the lower level of its location, and the fire and smoke have blocked the downward escape channel, you should escape upstairs as soon as possible. The roof platform is a relatively safe place. For example, there is a water tank on the exposed roof. You can use water to wet your clothes to resist the high temperature of the fire.
Toilet: if all the safe passages are cut off, the only choice is to retreat to the relatively safe toilet for a short time. After the trapped person enters the toilet, the doors and windows shall be closed tightly, the gap shall be closed tightly, and all faucets shall be turned on to drain water. The bathtub should be continuously drained. On the one hand, it is convenient to take water and sprinkle doors and windows for cooling. On the other hand, when the fire develops to the bathroom, people can also lie in the bathtub for a while to avoid. For firefighters to come to rescue for a favorable time.
Fire "for help" requires skill
In addition to dialing a mobile phone, you can also send out a call for help from the balcony or the window facing the street. For example: throw soft signals such as sofa cushions, pillows and clothes downstairs; at night, turn on the flashlight, emergency lighting and other ways to send out distress signals to help rescue workers find the exact target.
Do not enter the ordinary passenger elevator for escape
Fire escape should be quick, the faster the action, the better, but do not easily take the ordinary elevator. Because after a fire, the power will be cut off and the elevator will be 'jammed', so the escapees will be trapped in the elevator, but in a more dangerous situation, which will increase the difficulty of rescue; in addition, the elevator entrance will lead to all floors of the building, and the smoke on the fire field will rush into the elevator, which is very easy to form a 'chimney effect', and people will be choked and suffocated by the smoke and toxic gas in the elevator at any time.
Some places are not places of refuge
Never go under the bed, in the closet, or in the attic to avoid fire or smoke. Because these are the most dangerous places on the fire scene, and they are not easy to be found by fire fighters, and it is difficult to get timely rescue.
Do not jump blindly in high-rise fire
In the absence of timely rescue and living in a high-rise situation, we must not jump blindly. When the floor where the trapped person is located is below three floors, the bed sheets, quilts, curtains and other fabrics in the room can be torn into cloth strips that can bear weight and connected into ropes, which can be wet with water, tied on windowsills, balconies or indoor fixed load-bearing components to slide downstairs, and can also be used for escape and self-help, such as doors and windows, balconies, pipes and so on.
