A fire(火灾)often happens in winter because it's dry and windy at that time of a year. People all know the dangers of fires. It's useful for a family to learn how to escape(逃脱)from a fire. Here are some tips:
Put a smoke alarm(烟雾警报器)in the house. Smoke from a fire makes the alarm go off. The sound tells everyone to leave the house quickly.
Make escape plans. You should know all the ways out of the house.
If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) . Everyone in the family should know how to use them. If you don't know that, just read the instructions or ask others for help.
Practice for a fire at home now because it can teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
■Don't open a hot door. The air outside will come into the house if you open the door. Then the fire can grow more quickly.
■Stay close to the floor(地板). Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because the smoke goes up.
