The Misconception of Fire Escape

When a fire breaks out, getting out of the fire the right way is important. ✨ The following are some common misconceptions about fire escapes:

🚫 Misconception 1: Just wait for help

- Rescuers may not be able to reach your location before the fire spreads

- Immediately flee the scene of the fire if the situation allows

🚫 Misconception 2: Use a lift to escape

- A fire can cause a power failure, rendering the lift inoperable

- Using a lift to escape increases the risk of being trapped

🚫 Misconception 3: Blindly jump off a building to escape

- If you are trapped in a tall building, you can hang conspicuous objects outside the window for help (e.g. waving white bedsheets, coats)

- Do not jump off the building for as long as possible to avoid severe injury or death

🚫 Misconception 4: Escape defenselessly

- When escaping, bring the three key items: mobile phone, wet towel, and key

- Evacuate with all necessary items without affecting the speed of escape

Staying calm and reacting quickly is the key to escaping a fire. Remember to remind yourself and those around you to follow the correct escape strategy in the event of a fire. 🔥
