If the door is cool, open it cautiously and continue along your escape route. If it is hot, keep the door closed and use your 2nd escape route or stay in your room. If you return to your home, your chances of severe injury or death are doubled. If your clothing catches fire, stop where you are, drop gently to the floor, cover your face with your hands to protect your face from flames, and roll over and over to smother the flames. If you can't drop to the floor, smother the flames with a blanket or towel.
Fire needs air to keep burning.
Close all doors between you and the smoke. If there is a phone in the room, call the Fire Department and tell the dispatcher where you are trapped. Call the Fire Department even if you see fire trucks out your window. Let them know where you are. Stuff rags, towels or clothing in the cracks around doors to keep smoke out.
