People know the dangers of fires. It's good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some
suggestions:
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud
sound. The sound tells everyone the houses at once.
Make escape plans. They should know all the ways out of the houses. If there is a fire, everyone follows
the plans to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the
family should know the following fire rules:
a) Don't open a got door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
b) Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is neat near the floor because
smoke rises.
c) What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don't run! The fire burns faster
because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a
blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don't
forget to call 119 for help.
