If you can't contact the fire department by phone, wave for attention at the window. This will smother the flames, possibly saving your life. If someone else catches on fire, smother flames by grabbing a blanket or rug and wrapping them up in it. That could save them from serious burns or even death. These are your keys to preventing and surviving fires wherever they occur.
Fire requires fuel, oxygen and heat for ignition to occur.
Taken any one away and the fire cannot occur. Class A fires are fuelled by ordinary combustible or fibrous material, such as wood, paper, cloth and some plastics. Class B fires include flammable or combustible liquids, greases and gases, such as gasoline, paint and propane. Class C fires include electrical equipment, such as motors and heaters that are not connected to a power source. Class D fires can be extinguished with water.
