Matters needing attention

Never dive under a bed, in a closet, or in an attic to try to escape flames or smoke during a fire. These are the most dangerous places in the fire scene, and they are not easy to be found and rescued by firefighters. You must not use the general elevator as an evacuation channel, because the elevator is easy to produce a chimney effect or power outage, but let people in a more dangerous situation. When you escape, you can dampen the towel and fold it over your mouth and nose. When there is no water, a dry towel will also work. Cloth napkins, masks, and clothes can also be substituted. It is necessary to stack several layers, increase the smoke filter area, and cover the mouth and nose tightly to prevent the carbon monoxide generated in the fire from choking people to death.
