Which of the following should you do if you are unable to evacuate a burning building?
-
Open the doors and windows to let the smoke out
-
Break window
-
Breath through your mouth
-
Stay low under the smoke
Correct Answer
A. Stay low under the smokeExplanation
In the event that you are unable to evacuate a burning building, it is important to stay low under the smoke. Smoke rises, and by staying low, you can avoid inhaling the toxic fumes and increase your chances of finding a clear path to safety. Opening doors and windows may actually worsen the situation by providing more oxygen to the fire. Breaking a window should only be done as a last resort if there is no other way to escape. Breathing through your mouth is not an effective solution as it does not filter out the harmful smoke particles.Rate this question:
