What to do in a fire (if you are indoors)

In case of fire, crouch down low to avoid the smoke and move towards a safe location. Before opening a door, ensure it is not too hot to touch. Always close the door behind you to help stop the fire from spreading.

What to do if a child's clothing catches fire?

If your child's clothing catches fire, quickly wrap the child in a blanket or clothing or roll him or her on the ground to put out the fire.
