RIFLES IN CASE OF FIRE

Crawl on the floor. The clearest
air is the lowest in the room. Cover
head with wooden wrap, wet if posi-
bic. Cut holes for the eyes. Don't
get excited.
Familiarize yourself with the loca-
ton of hall windows and natural es-
capes. Learn the location of exits to
roofs of adjoining buildings. Learn
the position of stairways, particularly
the top landing and seuttle to the roof.
Should you hear cry of fire. and col
umns of smoke fill the rooms, above
all, keep cool Keep the doors of rooms
shut. Open windows from the top.
Wet a towel, stuff it in the mouth,
breathe throughit instead of the nose,
so as not to inhale smoke. Stand at
window and get benefit of outside
air. If room fills with smoke keen
close to floor and crawl along by the
wall to the window.
Do not jump unless the blaze behind
is scorching you. Do not even then
lif the firemen with scaling ladders
are coming up the building or are near
Never go to the roof, unless as a last
resort and you know there is escape
from it to adjoining buildings. In big
buildings fire always goes to the top.
Do not jump through flame within a
building without first covering head
with a blanket or heavy clothing and
guaging the distance. Don't get ex-
cited; try to recall the means of exit,
and if any fremen are in sight don't
jump.
If the doors of each apartment, es-
pecially in the lower part of the house,
were closed every night before the oc-
cupants retired, there would not be
such rapid spread of flames.
The above rules and warnings were
compiled for The World Almanac by
a body of insurance experts.
