What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape it? Do you know how to save
yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save a life. It is important to know
the way you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairs and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving
by windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤). The second floor window is usually not very high from
the ground. Maybe it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the
window. Or smoke and fire may be drawn (吸) into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure
you get fresh air.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof. From the roof a
person can drop to the ground more safely. Bushes (灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.
