How to escape from high-rise fire

If the ground floor of the 20th floor is on fire and smoke billows, how can you escape on the 10 floor?

Run downstairs, trying to escape from the building as soon as possible; Expert explanation: it is definitely wrong, which is equal to asking for it.

Run to the top of the building, climb out of the top floor and call for help; Experts explained: As long as the high-rise building does not close the rooftop passage on the top floor and climbs to the balcony on the top floor, waiting for rescue is still a better way for women, the elderly, children and other people with weak physique.

Find a way out on your own floor and escape through the escape door or escape passage set up in high-rise buildings; Experts explained: this is a relatively feasible way, but the best way is to get close to the window as soon as possible, and then wave it with colorful clothes until the fire officers and soldiers see it; If it is at night, please use the flashlight to keep shining back and forth.

Stay where you are and wait for rescuers to arrive; Experts explained that this method is feasible for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Because of poor physical strength, it is dangerous to find your own way, but try to find the window.

It is understood that the fire department did an experiment to let a strong firefighter run from the 33rd floor to 1 building, which took 35 minutes. If it is a person with average physical quality or an elderly person or a child, the time will definitely be longer. The problem is that with the help of the wind, the fire can reach the 33rd floor from 1 floor in 30 seconds. The diffuse smoke can easily block the fire escape.

Never choose to jump off a building.

According to the regulations, all floors above 100 meters need to be provided with refuge floors. If there is a high-rise fire, residents on the floors above the fire point can escape to the refuge floor. The refuge floor is a completely open space with special smoke exhaust facilities, so it is safer for people to hide in the refuge floor. "If there is no residential building with a refuge floor, and people are trapped in a burning building, and there is no escape route around, then hiding in the toilet and driving all the water to the maximum is also a way of life. The water flow can cool down and bring oxygen. " Fire experts said.

Fire experts finally reminded: in any case, no matter which one you choose, don't choose to jump off a building. This is basically suicide! "If a high-rise residential building is on fire, the most important thing is to save yourself. There are few large-scale fire houses in residential buildings in northern China, mainly because the reinforced concrete building structure and insulation layer in the north are in the middle of the wall. Even if there is a fire inside and outside the building, as long as the insulation layer made of benzene board is not ignited, the danger will not be great, and the fire can be controlled. " Wu Binglong, senior engineer of Shenyang Fire Brigade Fire Department, said. "If a high-rise building is on fire, the trapped people must remember one thing, that is, don't panic, be sure to see the situation clearly and don't blindly escape." Wu Binglong said.

Four Important Tips for the Escape Process

1. If you see a related door in front when you are running in the corridor, don't open it immediately. (Expert explanation: If there is a fire on the opposite side, people can immediately throw themselves into the fire when they encounter enough oxygen. The correct way is to touch the door handle or facade carefully with your hands first. If it is too hot, don't open it. If it's a little hot, open it slowly. If you see a fire across the door, you should close the door and leave immediately to find other escape routes.

2, in the process of escape, avoid herd mentality. (Expert explanation: easy to trample on each other)

Often everyone likes to follow the crowd to escape. But it is very likely that when everyone escapes to a security door, the result is that the door is very narrow and there is a dangerous phenomenon of trampling on each other. In addition, where there is light, the brighter the place, the fiercer the fire.

If you see someone on fire, please don't try to water it or cover it with a quilt. (Expert explanation: Because people have fat under their skin, if they encounter water when burning fat, they will burst immediately! If you cover it with a quilt, even after the fire goes out, when you tear off the quilt, your skin will be torn off with you! )

The correct way is, if you don't have a fire extinguisher at hand, please choose to let him roll underground and put out the fire by isolating the air. It is best to have a fire extinguisher, but you can't use other fire extinguishers, only dry powder fire extinguishers.

What should I do if there is a fire outside the door and the smoke gradually enters the room through the crack of the door?

The correct way: block the door with soft cloth or silk scarf at hand as soon as possible. If not, please rush to the door with water to cool down as much as possible to prevent burns. If all the smoke comes in, you can find a big plastic bag, shake it in the air a few times, then put it on your head and tie it tightly. The oxygen in the bag can ensure that you won't suffocate within 1 minute. In this life-threatening minute, please find the window immediately and start asking for help. If you don't have a plastic bag, please stay close to the water dispenser or refrigerator, or hide in the bathroom, because the water in the bucket and bathroom or the trace oxygen in the refrigerator can help you delay your life as much as possible.
