In recent years, spontaneous combustion disasters have been occurring more frequently, especially natural fires that have resulted in the loss of many precious lives, causing great devastation to families. Today, we will discuss how to自救 in spontaneous combustion fires. We will focus on three main aspects: fires, earthquakes, and floods.
How to carry out disaster prevention and self-rescue during emergencies such as fires, earthquakes, and floods?
Bus catches fire, breaking windows for evacuation
As the weather heats up, what should you do if your car catches fire?
In the event of a car engine fire, immediately pull over and shut off the power, then use the vehicle's fire extinguisher to extinguish the flames. If a car catches fire after being hit, try to rescue passengers first before extinguishing the fire. If a fire occurs while refueling a car, stop the refueling immediately, drive the vehicle out of the gas station; if fuel has spilled on the ground, use a fire extinguisher or sand to extinguish it. After a bus catches fire, quickly open all doors to allow passengers to exit in an orderly fashion while swiftly extinguishing the flames. If the flames block the doors, passengers can cover their heads with clothing and rush out, or break the window glass to escape.
Don't use the elevator during an earthquake.
What emergency procedures should people in buildings follow during an earthquake?
During an earthquake, residents living in buildings should seek shelter in small, open spaces like kitchens and bathrooms; also, hide near the base of walls, in corners, or next to sturdy furniture where a triangular space can be formed. When in a classroom or public venue, quickly cover your head and eyes, and seek refuge under desks, podiums, workstations, or office furniture. Stay away from exterior walls, doors and windows, balconies, and do not use elevators to escape from tall buildings; neither should you jump out of windows. Instead, use the safety exits. If injured by the earthquake, try to remove any debris pressing on you, do not panic or shout for help loudly, and preserve your strength and maintain clear breathing. Try to signal for help by striking objects with stones or metal tools.
Do not attempt to cross water during floods blindly.
How to Escape and Rescue Yourself When Houses are Flooded?
As floodwaters approach, personnel should be quickly dispatched to evacuate to the rooftops and efforts should be made to send out distress signals. If conditions permit, use bamboo and wood floats to transfer to a safe location. In rural areas, choose a shelter close to home, on high ground, and with convenient access to transportation. Opt for locations with good sanitation, clean water sources, and facilities for waste disposal, ensuring good communication and transportation links with the outside world. At the same time, be vigilant in collecting various floating objects, as wooden basins and buckets can be excellent tools for escaping danger. Never attempt to cross floodwaters without understanding the water conditions.
