-
Invest in a good quality fire extinguishers. Train
yourself and teach the rest of the members of the family on how to
use the fire extinguisher.
- Make provision for a fire exit door in the
house, which you can use in case of an emergency.
- A fire burns for longer and spreads faster
when there is an uninterrupted supply of oxygen. So, if there is a
fire in your house, run outside the house and close all doors and
windows. This will cut off the supply of oxygen and the fire will
gradually reduce.
- If your clothes catch fire then lie down on
the floor and start rolling. This will put the fire out.
- Installing fire sensors or detectors inside
the house is a good idea
