How to deal with a fire in a high-rise building

Now there are more and more high-rise buildings, and the story height of the building is also higher and higher. What should we do in case of a fire? Let's take a look with Xiaobian!

[smoke can reach the top of a hundred meter building in half a minute]

In general, the most lethal thing in a fire is smoke. The speed of smoke jumping up is very fast, which makes people unprepared. A 100m building can reach the top floor in half a minute, which is the real reason why it is difficult to escape from fire. In case of high-rise fire, the direction of fire spread and smoke diffusion shall be understood as much as possible, and the fire position shall be judged, so as to effectively escape.

If there's a fire upstairs, go downstairs immediately. Don't take the elevator

If the location is below the fire floor, you should use all kinds of stairs to get down to the safety zone immediately, and take care not to take the elevator, because the power system may be cut off at any time in case of fire, if trapped, it will endanger life.

The fire on this floor may have burned to the door. Do not open the door easily

If the location is on the fire floor, when leaving the room, first touch the door with the back of your hand. If it has been heated, it means that the door has been blocked by fire or smoke. At this time, do not open the door easily, block the door seam with towel quilt, and splash water to cool down. At the same time, pay attention to exposing your position.

Downstairs on fire cover your mouth and nose to avoid smoke

If the location is above the fire floor, do not attempt to break through the fire point easily, because the central temperature of the fire site is more than 1000 degrees, it should move to the refuge floor or roof as soon as possible. During the movement, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel to avoid inhalation of smoke, and wrap your body with a wet quilt. If there is already smoke spreading, you should lower your body and move quickly, and learn to use fire-fighting equipment to protect yourself.

Close to the main road, avoid shouting for help

When choosing the shelter location, try to be close to the room of the main passage of the building, so that the rescue personnel can be found first when they arrive. Do not choose the narrow and closed room such as the washroom easily. Staying in the room with windows and without anti-theft windows will often be rescued first time. Don't shout for help so as not to consume oxygen and inhale more harmful substances. It is more noticeable to use bright colored clothes or cloth strips to shake in the window.

When there is a fire in a high-rise building, sometimes a lot of smoke is more deadly than fire. It is the key to judge the fire point and smoke direction and choose a reasonable escape route.

[choosing a shelter is about survival rate]

If you can't reach the refuge floor or the roof is locked, you should choose the refuge location as soon as possible, and it is better to take the 3-5 floors above the floor where the fire and smoke spread. (generally, the fire ladder is only on the 30th floor, the higher the position is, the later it will be rescued.)

Try to be close to the room of the main passageway of the building, so as to be found first after the arrival of the rescue personnel. Don't choose the narrow and closed room such as the washroom easily. Staying in the room with windows and without anti-theft windows will often be rescued at the first time. Don't shout for help so as not to consume oxygen and inhale more harmful substances. It is more noticeable to use bright colored clothes or cloth strips to shake in the window.

If you are out of danger, you have something to do

1. If you have a car parked in the fire passage, please move the car as soon as possible to make room for the fire truck to enter and exit.

2. Pay attention to every window upstairs to see if there is anyone else asking for help and help the firefighters determine the location.

3. Look for all the fire-fighting equipment that can be found. If there are trapped people or rescue workers who 'start a fire', you can help. Pay attention to the distinction between dry ice extinguisher and dry powder extinguisher. Do not spray dry ice extinguisher on people.
