Leaving a burning room:

1. Before opening a closed door in a burning house, touch it with the back of your hand. Do not open it if you feel that the door is warm - there is fire behind it.

2. Do not use the elevator during a fire.

3. Go down stairs only. Never run wild.

5. Cover yourself with a wet thick cloth, towel, blanket.

6. Breathe through a wet handkerchief, fabric, clothing.

7. If your clothes catch fire, don't try to run, try to put out the flame by rolling on the floor or douse yourself with water.

8. Do not go back into the burning room until the firemen say that the danger has passed.

But what if the fire cut off the path to the exit?

1. Turn off the electricity and turn off the gas.

2. Go to the room farthest from the burning room, tightly closing all doors and windows behind you.

3. Plug door cracks and ventilation holes with wet rags.

4. Douse the floor and doors with water, thus lowering their temperature.
