Fire Safety Procedures   (tidbits) I am staying in the hotel room, and noted their 'in-case-of-fire' instructions, and thought it would be great to share this. First, they noted that 42% of all hotel and motel fires are started off because somebody smoked in bed, so generally, refrain from doing so. If there is a fire outside the room, and you find that you are trapped, the following are good guidelines to follow  ( note that most people die because of smoke poisoning and this is the first thing you should avoid): a.) Inform somebody of the fire immediately. b.) Fill the bath with water.  Soak all sheets and towels with water.  Cover the cracks to prevent the smoke from coming in. c.) Put a wet towel in front of your face.  Swirl a wet towel in front of your face to get rid of the smoke. d.) Do not break or open the window unless you can exit there or the smoke is unbearable.  More air may cause the fire to spread more quickly.   10:04:10 AM     comment []   trackback []
