“Where there is smoke, you must not go. » If you are in a smoky room, hold a tissue to your nose and bend down, the fresh air is close to the floor.
Adapt your behavior to the situation
If a fire breaks out in your home and you cannot extinguish it immediately: evacuate the premises, close the door to the burning room and that of your home and exit through the nearest exit.
If the fire breaks out in another room, another accommodation or in the common areas of a building: stay at home, the smoke risks invading the corridors and stairs, close the door and wet it with a cloth wet, come to the window so the firefighters can see you. Do not try to evacuate at all costs: avoid fumes.
