Make escape(逃跑) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practise for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety.

Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules：

●Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

●Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire.The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

●What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop!

Don't run! The fire burns faster because of more air, Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll(滚动)! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
