What should I do if I encounter a high-rise fire?

When encountering a high-rise fire, you must be calm, don't panic, don't act blindly, quickly recognize the current situation and choose the correct escape method. If the fire occurs upstairs and the smoke is not strong, you should evacuate to the nearest emergency exit and quickly escape to a safe place outside the building. And in the process of escape, keep in mind the following precautions:

1. When fleeing, don't covet property, never take the elevator, and don't forget to cover your nose and mouth with wet towels or other smoke-proof equipment to protect yourself.

2. Soak clothes, blankets and other cotton cloth with water and wrap it around your body to avoid being burned. The smoke at the scene of the fire is huge, and the killer is often not the fire, but the smoke, so learn to hold your breath, which is also one of the measures to prevent the inhalation of toxic gases.

3. Keep your body down. According to "Red Net", at the scene of the fire, smoke spread from bottom to top. When you run away, you must lower your body, and the cat's waist should choose the right direction to escape along the passage.

If you are trapped in the scene and can't escape, you must find a room with windows, water and no safety net for firefighters to rescue. When asking for help, you'd better use your mobile phone for help. Remember not to shout with your mouth open, you will inhale a lot of smoke. If the scene allows, you can wave bright clothes or cloth for help during the day, and you can use lights or impact things for help at night.

In either case, if you want to go out, you should first observe the heat of the door handle. If the heat is high, give up and flee, because it is very likely that the fire is around you, even outside the door.
