Fire escape
In a fire, trapped people should have a good psychological quality, remain calm, do not panic, do not act blindly, choose the correct escape method. It is important to note that the temperature at the scene of a fire is very alarming and the smoke can block your vision. When we see fire scenes in movies and TV, everything is very clear and that is filmed beyond the smoke on the fire scene.
When at the scene of a fire, visibility is so low that you can't even figure out where the windows and doors are in the room you've been living in for a long time, and in that situation it's even more important to stay calm and not panic.
If you hear the alarm at night, you should first touch the door with the back of your hand and try to see if the door has gotten hot. If it is hot, the door cannot be opened, or the smoke and fire will rush into the bedroom; if the door is not hot, the fire may not be too big, and escaping from the room through the normal way is possible. After leaving the room, be sure to close the door behind you to prevent the fire from spreading.
