2. If you live on the first floor, kneeling on the ground to escape from the house

3. If the fire is still not big, and to ensure your own safety, you can try to extinguish the fire. If you can’t control the fire, you need to find the fire exit quickly and run downstairs.

4. But if the door and the stairs are full of smoke and fire, the fire is too strong and it is not easy to escape. At this time, don’t rush down, but immediately close the door, block the smoke, wait for the rescue opportunity.

5.  Do not stay in the bathroom, because the bathroom door and ceiling are mostly made of plastic and glass, it is completely unable to withstand the smoke and high temperature.
