[06:25.54]How to protect yourself from fires
[06:29.80]Can you guess how many fires are started by kids every year? 200 or maybe 2000?
[06:38.94]In fact,every year,children start nearly 100,000 fires[06:46.10]that hurt people and cause a lot of damage.
[06:50.64]That's why playing with cigarette lighters,matches or candles,is not a good idea.
[06:58.51]Fires are scary and very dangerous.
[07:03.37]They are loud and hot and burn very fast
[07:08.51]and their smoke can make a room or home very dark.
[07:13.55]What would you do if there was a fire in your home?
[07:18.23]What would hapen if you were sleeping?
[07:22.07]You may not see a fire,smell smoke or wake up in time to get out safely.
[07:28.73]Don't wait until the last minute to get out;
[07:32.99]give yourself plenty of time so that there is still an available exit route.
[07:39.86]The best fire escape plans give you two ways to get out of each room.
[07:45.71]If one way is blocked by the fire,you can get out the other way.
[07:51.46]But if you have to escape through smoke,
[07:55.40]crawl on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60 centimetres above the floor.
[08:02.35]Smoke and heat rise,so during a fire,there's cleaner,cooler air near the floor.
[08:10.61]The safest air is downlow.It's important to get out fast!
[08:16.95]Take only what you can safely carry with you.
[08:21.53]Make sure you know how to call for emergency assistance⁸ in your area
[08:26.88]and be sure you can provide accurate⁹ directions to your home.
[08:32.52]It's important to know what to do if there is a fire in your home,
[08:38.77]but knowing how to prevent fires is even more important.
[08:43.94]The following tips may help you prevent fires:
[08:48.80]1.Never put anything over a lamp,like clothes or a blanket,not even when playing.
[08:57.65]2.Don't touch heaters.Ask an adult to turn a heater on or off for you.
[09:05.20]3.Don't stand too close to the stove.
[09:10.48]You could get burned or your clothes could catch fire.
[09:15.34]4.Never touch matches,lighters,or candles.
[09:21.69]5.Don't play with electrical cords¹⁰ and never stick anything into an electrical socket¹¹.
[09:29.84]6.Turn off lights,stereos,
[09:35.11]TVs and other electrical equipment when you are finished with using them.
