In the event of a fire in a high rise building, where is the safest place to escape?

Soil resources are relatively limited, and with the help of the development of building technology, buildings in cities have been built higher and higher in recent years. High-rise buildings have many advantages, not only can alleviate the problem of housing difficulties at the corresponding level, but also save the cost of building and reasonably increase the use of soil resources. But everything is multifaceted, and high-rise buildings have certain flaws, especially when it comes to fire safety.

In first-tier cities, it is not uncommon to see buildings as high as 20 or 30 or even 40 or 50 floors. Even with innovative security equipment, fire escape in high-rise buildings is still a problem. After all, the height that ladder fire trucks and high-pressure water cannons can reach is relatively limited, and once a fire accident occurs in a building that is too high, the difficulty factor for residents to escape and rescue will increase.

If the fire point is on the top of the building and there is a corresponding spacing, for example, the building is on the 16th floor and the fire point is on the 24th floor, the first thing we need to do is to run down the fire escape door, and remember not to take the elevator to escape. Even if you are in a safe area, it is important to leave quickly, and do not stay in a building with a fire accident for too long to avoid missing the opportunity to escape. In addition, in the process of escape, it is also necessary to call the fire alarm as soon as possible to get the rescue force.

If the fire point is located directly below the building you belong to, for example, we are on the 20th floor and the fire point is on the 12th floor, you can't rush out of the fire point, after all, it is difficult for flesh and blood to fight the heat of the fire above 1000 degrees. In addition, the smoke at the scene of the fire accident is even more terrifying, and the billowing smoke can not only suffocate people from lack of oxygen, but also continue to inhale harmful substances and poison people. According to the data, without all protective measures, people can stay in the smoke for up to 3 minutes; Leave it on for up to 15 minutes with a wet towel over your mouth and nose.

When the fire is large and the smoke is filled, everyone should immediately turn back and find a suitable room to solve the fire accident.

When a fire breaks out in a high-rise building, it is best to find a place with water in the building where the fire occurred, close the door, and cover your mouth and nose with a cloth that can be wet with water, and wait for rescue.

In the event of a fire in a high-rise building, the first thing to do is to calm down, and if the fire is not large, you can find a way to extinguish the fire. If the fire is more intense, you should leave the scene as quickly as possible, you can choose a safe passage or an emergency passage to escape, and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel when escaping. If the passage is blocked, wet the doors, windows, and clothing with water, and go to the balcony to call for help.

Refuge floor. High-rise buildings are equipped with evacuation floors for emergency use. In the event of a fire, wrap yourself in a wet towel and try to evacuate to the evacuation floor.

The methods of escape from high-rise buildings** are as follows:

If you encounter a high-rise building**, choose a suitable route to escape, and do not use an elevator to escape. Citizens living in high-rise residential buildings should always have strong flashlights, escape masks, escape descenders, and fire extinguishers at home, and do not covet property after a fire, and escape immediately. Use ** to report the fire situation and location to your relatives and the 119 command center to facilitate rapid rescue.

When escaping from a fire, wear an escape mask or cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel to prevent inhaling toxic fumes.

When entering the room, seal the gap between the door with a wet towel, clothing or bed sheet, and cool the door with water. If you notice that the temperature of the doorknob in the house is too high or if there is smoke coming in from the crack in the door, do not open the door rashly. **Point on this floor or the upper floor, and quickly escape down through the safety exit; **Point on the lower floor, fire and smoke have blocked the downward passage, choose other routes or go home to wait for help depending on the situation, do not blindly jump off the building to escape.

Common causes of fires

1. Electrical equipment, such as short circuits of wires.

2. Littering cigarette butts or match stems that have not been completely extinguished.

3. Use candles to light when there is a power outage or when sleeping, ignite combustibles or use open flames to find things.

4. Improper operation of gas or gas equipment when using it, or using gas equipment with potential safety hazards.

5. The illegal use of electric and gas welding leads to the spark falling on combustibles and causing disasters.

High-rise buildings**Escape points:

First, don't open the door easily.

When the resident learns about ** in the house, he should first touch the door with the back of his hand to see if the door has become hot, if it is hot, the door cannot be opened, otherwise smoke and fire will rush into the house. Wet the door with water, plug the gaps with a wet towel, and hide under the window or balcony to avoid smoke. If the door is not hot, the fire may not be large and you can escape the room by normal means.

Second, don't jump off the building.

When escaping, low-rise residents generally use bedding, clothes, bed sheets, etc. to tear into strips, twist into ropes and tie them to firm window sills, bed frames, and indoor solid objects, and climb down the outer wall according to the rope escape method. If you are trapped on a lower floor (less than three floors), you can throw soft objects such as Simmons and quilts to the bottom of the building, and people can jump from the window to the soft objects to escape. Basic fire escape tools should always be prepared at home, such as escape ropes, descenders, etc., which can play an effective role at critical moments.

Third, fast-forward to the evacuation stairwell.

Generally, the fire point of high-rise buildings is in the room or corridor, and the evacuation staircase is separated from the walkway by a fire door, if the fire door is intact, the fireworks cannot enter the evacuation stairwell. There should also be lights and ventilation equipment in the evacuation staircase, so entering the evacuation stairwell is equivalent to entering a relatively safe zone.

Fourth, cover your mouth with a wet towel and bend over and crawl forward.

Because the smoke from high-rise buildings spreads quickly, rising up to 3-5 meters per second on average, it is necessary to run down as much as possible when escaping, and at the same time cover your mouth and nose with a folded wet towel. In smoke-filled rooms and corridors, there should still be residual air to use less than 30 cm above the ground, so you should use a low posture to escape, it is best to bend down so that your head is as close to the ground as possible, crawl forward, crawl with your palms, elbows, and knees close to the ground, and escape along the edge of the wall to avoid losing your way.

Fifth, don't expect elevators.

In principle, whether it is a high-rise or low-rise resident, in the event of a fire, people should try to evacuate as much as possible, because the fire is spreading upward, but if the fire seals the corridor, it is okay to go up.

You can also escape to the rooftop, and you can enter the roof by following the stairs leading to the roof, or take refuge in the evacuation floor or evacuation room and wait for the firefighters to rescue you. Do not rely on the elevator to escape, the power supply is often cut off during the fire, and the chimney effect of the elevator shaft is very strong, and the fireworks are easy to spread here.

1. When a fire breaks out in a high-rise residence, the only way to escape is to enter the fire staircase through the evacuation passage and escape down.

2. If it is a high-rise public building, you can escape to the refuge floor to wait for help (the height of the building is more than 100 meters, and the refuge floor is set up) If it is a public building below 100 meters, there is no refuge floor, and the fire is the same as the high-rise residence.

After a fire breaks out in a high-rise building, first of all, don't panic, keep calm, be clear about the number of floors and location where you are located, if it is a fire to seal the door, close the door and window openings of the room, and plug the holes with a wet cloth or wet towel to prevent smoke from entering the room. At the same time, cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth or wet towel to reduce the toxicity of smoke to your body. At the same time, use your mobile phone to ask for help, or use your hand to meet the east towel at the outside window to ask for help from the outside world.

If the fire is in the upper part of the floor, don't panic, but to escape along the stairwell in an orderly manner, at this time, don't take the elevator, but if the fire fighting facilities are not damaged at this time, the elevator will automatically land on the first floor. If the high-rise is a super high-rise, you can go to the 15th floor of the refuge floor (usually in the middle of the building or the 15th floor), or the roof of the building, there is a helicopter apron on the roof. High-rise buildings are generally equipped with fire escape masks or slow descenders (Beichen Fire Fighting Equipment in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province wholesale these equipment products), which are the best escape products.

You think too much, there are sprinkler equipment on the upper floors, fire doors, evacuation channels, and the fire station's lift car can reach it.

Follow the stairs according to the fire escape diagram.

Due to its special structure, once a fire breaks out in a high-rise building, it is more dangerous than an ordinary building, and if it is not properly disposed of, life is often in danger. So, when you are in this situation, it is important to stay calm and not panic.

First of all, you must quickly identify which direction is up and down, left and right in your room**, and then decide on an escape route to avoid straying into the "fire mouth".

If you find that the doors, windows, passages, and stairs have been blocked by fireworks, but there is still a possibility of rushing out, you can pour some water on your head and body, or cover your head with a wet towel or sheet, and wrap your body with a wet blanket or quilt to rush out of the danger zone.

If the smoke is too thick for people to walk upright, they can crawl against the ground or wall roots and pass through the danger zone. When the staircase has been burned down and the adjacent passage is blocked, the other room can be accessed through the balcony or window, from where it can be quickly evacuated to the indoor fire elevator or outdoor fire staircase.

If the door has been sealed by fire, do not open it easily to avoid fire, pour more water on the door to prolong the spread time, and wait for a piece of clothing to stick out of the window or shout loudly to attract the attention of rescuers.

If there are rainwater pipes, running water pipes or lightning rods outside the windows of the building, you can use these to climb down; You can also use a strong rope, (if you can't find it for a while) you can tear the cover, bed sheets, curtains into strips, twist them into ropes) and tie one end to the window frame or bed frame, and then slowly go down. If you are too high from the ground, you can go down to a non-hazardous floor, kick the glass of the window you pass by with your foot, and then go down from there.

If you live close to the roof, you can go straight to the roof platform or balcony and wait patiently for the arrival of rescuers, but in either case, don't jump down, because then there will be only death and no life.

1. Calm first. First of all, you must calm down, and if the fire is not big, you can take measures to extinguish it as soon as possible. If the fire is fierce, call the police at the first time and evacuate quickly.

2. Pay attention to the wind direction. The evacuation direction should be determined according to the wind direction at the time of the fire, and before the fire spreads, quickly leave the disaster area in the direction of the headwind. Generally speaking, when the floor where the fire broke out is above your own floor, you should quickly run downstairs.

When escaping, pay attention to closing the doors and windows on the passage to prevent and delay the flow of smoke to the escape passage.

3. Cover your nose with a towel. Fire smoke has the characteristics of high temperature and high toxicity, and it is easy to cause respiratory scalding or poisoning after inhalation. Therefore, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel when fleeing, and try to avoid shouting loudly to prevent smoke from entering your mouth.

You can also find water to wet your clothes, cloth, etc. to cover your mouth and nose. When passing through the smoke zone, move as quickly as possible in the lowest position or in a prostrate position. Be careful to breathe small and shallow.

4. Knotted rope escape. When the passage of the building is blocked by fire, and there is no way to escape, you can tear the sheets, quilt covers or curtains into ropes, tie the window sill firmly, and slide down the rope. If you have a rope at home, you can directly tie one end of it to a door, window cabinet or heavy object and climb down along the other end.

In this process, it is necessary to pay attention to the use of both hands and feet (the feet are twisted into a clamping rope, and the hands are climbed up and down alternately), and the handle should be protected to prevent the hands from being taken off or worn out when sliding down.

5. Temporary evacuation. When there is no way out, you should actively seek temporary shelter. In large-scale multi-purpose buildings, evacuation rooms located at the ends of elevators, corridors, and toilets can be used to avoid the hazards of fireworks.

If you are temporarily trapped in the room, close all doors and windows leading to the fire area, block the cracks of the doors and windows with soaked bedding and clothing, and splash water to cool down to prevent external flames and smoke from entering. When trapped, take the initiative to contact the outside world so that you can be rescued as soon as possible.

6. Hide against the wall. When firefighters enter a burning house, they grope along the walls, so when they are suffocated by smoke and lose their ability to save themselves, they should try to roll towards the wall or doorway. At the same time, doing so will also prevent the house from collapsing and injuring yourself.

Everyone is praying for peace. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Once the fire came, surrounded by thick smoke and flames, many people died in the flames, and some survived.

There are only desperate people, there is no desperate situation, "in the face of billowing smoke and raging flames, as long as you are calm and witty and use the knowledge of self-rescue and escape from the fire, you have a great possibility to save yourself."

It depends on whether you are on fire above or below If you are on fire downstairs Then you have to judge how big the fire is Whether the evacuation route is clear If the fire is not affected by the evacuation route Then you can use a wet towel or fabric to cover your mouth and nose and quickly escape the scene in a low posture If you judge that the fire escape can no longer escape, then you must stay away from the source of goods Or go to the roof to wait for rescue Or confine the door in the room Block the crack of the door with wet fabric to prevent smoke from coming in It is best to find a place with a water source such as a bathroom and** Tell the fire department to wait for rescue It's best not to open the window That will increase the convection of the air It will make the fire bigger and bigger If you are on fire upstairs Then find a way to leave quickly Remember: don't take the elevator After the building is on fire, the elevator will become a chimney There is the largest smoke You will be smoked to death Most of the victims in the fire are suffocated to death That is, they are smoked to death Few are burned directly Convenient bags can store air Some dead corners have a small amount of air Be sure to calm down Don't panic I am a fire veteran Large and small After hundreds of fires, as long as you don't panic, you'll be fine.
