Mid-Autumn Fire Safety Tips: How to escape from KTV fire?

1. When opening the door, first touch the door handle with the back of your hand. Never open the door if the door handle is hot or there is smoke coming out of the door gap. Touch it with the back of your hand first because the metal door handle transfers heat faster than the door frame, and the back of your hand will shrink back when it feels hot.

If the door handle is not hot, you can open a crack and see if you can get out. Put your feet under the door to prevent the hot air from rushing the door open. If there is a fire outside the door, opening the door will raise a gust of wind and fuel the fire. Opening doors and windows is like fanning the flames. All doors and windows should be closed as close as possible.

3. Bending forward, the smoke spreads from top to bottom, about 0.9 meters from the ground. Smoke is thin, breathing is easier and vision is clearer.

If the exit is blocked, try to open the window or go to the balcony, and close the balcony door when leaving the balcony.

5. If you live upstairs, and the floor is not too high from the ground and the landing point is not hard, you can grab the windowsill and hang out of the window to straighten your arms to shorten the distance from the ground. Although this may cause sprains and fractures in your limbs, it is an active survival after all. Before jumping, release one hand, support yourself with this hand and foot to leave the wall, and then jump. Only when there is really no other way can you jump from a height.

6. If you want to escape by breaking the window, you can smash the glass with something (hard object) that you can catch at hand, clean up the glass fragments in the window, and then escape along the window. If there is nothing else to do, close the door, open the window and shout for help. If you are asking for help on the balcony, you should close the back door and windows first.

7. If there is no balcony, try to stop the fire from spreading while waiting for rescue. Block the gap between doors and windows with wet cloth to prevent smoke and flame from entering the room, so as not to be burned alive.

8. Pour water on wooden furniture and doors and windows to prevent the fire from spreading. If the adjacent room is on fire, don't open the door and move out from the window and balcony. If you open the door hastily, the heat and smoke will take advantage of it and make people suffocate. If you suddenly find a fire while sleeping, don't panic. You should crawl on the ground, because there will be residual fresh air near the ground. Don't gasp, just breathe gently.
