Shopping malls are a gathering place for the public to shop and entertain, especially during the holidays, and the mall is full of people's hustle and bustle. However, due to its large volume, complex building structure, many electrical lighting equipment, many combustible materials, and dense crowds, it is easy to cause major economic losses or mass fires.

At about 1:30 am on January 9, 2016, a shopping mall in Yangon, Myanmar, burst into a fire and burned for more than three hours. It is still not completely extinguished. Fortunately, there have been no reports of casualties.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of January 7, 2016, the kitchen of the fifth floor of Raffles Shopping Mall in Dongzhimen, Beijing, was on fire. The burning smell was filled in the building. Then the mall rang the alarm, the customers in the building began to evacuate, and the mall was temporarily closed.

At 13:51 on February 5, 2015, a fire accident occurred in the warehouse on the fourth floor of a commodity city in Guangdong Province. As of the morning of February 6, 2015, the number of deaths from fire accidents has risen to 17 deaths, 10 have been identified, and one fire officer has been seriously injured.

Here, Fuzhou firefighting recruits the masses of consumers: how to escape from the fire in the mall?

First, make good use of the escape route, Mo Jin elevator, orderly evacuation

Fire escape routes in the mall include: indoor stairs, outdoor stairs, fire safety exits, etc. When a fire occurs, it should be carefully evacuated along the escape route. Do not use an ordinary elevator to escape, in case of power failure or malfunction. When you are alive, don't rush to get out of the way and evacuate in an orderly way. When you meet children and the elderly, you must take the initiative to support and walk by. Once the injury is difficult to move forward, you should lie on both sides of the passage to wait for the rescue.

Second, local materials, homemade tools, smoke protection head

The smoke generated in the fire is the number one killer of death. In the event of a fire, if you can't escape the scene in the first place, it is very important to prevent smoke. When the fire occurs, you can wet your body and cover your mouth and nose, and try to lower your body and escape. In general, there are many materials in the mall that can be used to make protective tools, such as using mineral water to wet a towel or blanket to act as a smoke-proof and cooling tool, or to plug the door to block the entry of smoke. You can also wear a commodity helmet in the mall and use various belts, sheets, etc. to open escape routes.

Third, find shelters, stay awake, pay attention to cooling, smoke prevention

When the fire is too large to escape through the escape route, pay attention to finding shelters. In the mall, all the open balconies and bathrooms in the refuge. If you are on the balcony, you should try to find towels and other things, and forcefully wave to attract the attention of firefighters. To take refuge in the bathroom, you can use water to splash the wall door, use a wet towel to plug the door and other methods to cool down and prevent smoke. The trapped person should cry out for help and constantly send out various signals to attract the attention of rescuers and help themselves out of the woods.

Fourth, use the building, transfer to a safe area, wait for an opportunity to escape

In the event of a fire, if the above three methods are unable to escape, you can quickly use the ropes or sheets, curtains, clothes, etc. to make a simple life-saving rope, and wet it with water, from the window sill or balcony along the rope to the floor below the fire floor. Or the ground. When there is no auxiliary tool, you can use the sewer pipe, the protruding parts inside and outside the house, and various doors, windows, and lightning protection nets (lines) of the building to transfer to the safe area and then look for opportunities to escape. When you use this method to escape, be bold and careful, and you must not act blindly, otherwise it will be prone to casualties.

5. Be careful to jump off the building and operate scientifically to avoid unnecessary casualties.

When the shelter is no longer safe, you can carefully jump off the building according to the specific situation on the ground. The height of the jumped building is best in two floors. Before jumping off the building, you should first throw some soft items such as quilts, pillows, mattresses and coats on the ground to make a "soft landing." Then he grabbed the window sill by hand, his body drooped, his head and feet down, and naturally slipped to narrow the height of the jump and let his feet fall on the soft object first. If you are surrounded by fireworks in the upper floors of the third floor or above, don't rush to jump off the building. Because it is too high from the ground, it is easy to cause serious injury and death when jumping down. As long as there is a line of life, don't risk jumping off the building.
