Keeping Safe in your House During a Fire
Though you may not think you'll ever fall victim to a house fire, it's better to be prepared to avoid panicking. To increase your chances of survival, just follow these steps.
⒈React as soon as you hear your smoke alarm goes off. On hearing your smoke detector or alarm going off and seeing a fire, exit your home as safely as possible.
⒉Safely exit through doors. If you don't see smoke at the door, open it slowly and pass through it after making sure the door feels cool. If there is a fire preventing you from exiting the room, close the door.
⒊Protect yourself from smoke inhalation（吸入）. Get low to the floor and crouch or crawl on your hands and knees to avoid the smoke. Cover your nose and mouth if you have to walk by or through a heavily smoke-filled room.
⒋ If your clothes catch fire, immediately stop what you're doing, drop flat to the ground, and roll around until you put the fire out.
⒌Prevent the smoke if you can't get out. Close your door and cover all vents（通风口）and cracks（缝隙）around it with cloth or tape to keep the smoke out.
⒍Call for help from a second story window. You can take a sheet or something else—white preferably—and hang it out of the window to signify that you need help when the first res-ponders get there.
A. If you can't escape your home, don't panic.
B. Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire.
C. You are probably a lot safer by closing doors.
D. Escape from a second story window if you can.
E. Smoke inhalation causes people to become unconscious.
F. Do not try to get your phone, valuables, or your other important possessions.
G. If you are trapped in your second story room, get to an area where people can find you.

Joining a fire department requires that both physical and written tests are passed with scores showing a thorough knowledge of fire safety. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
The first step in joining a fire department as a paid firefighter is to submit an application as well as acquire the appropriate training.
