Question

Answer the following question in one or two paragraphs:

Write any five safety measures against fires.

Answer 1

Few safety measures against fire are:

1. Everyone should be acquainted with the common fire safety norms.
2. We should take some time out to find out about the different kinds of fire extinguishers and the correct one to use in case of a fire. Fires are of different origins and we should make an effort to know more about this and the right extinguisher to use.
3. While entering a public place such as a cinema hall or auditorium, we should make note of the fire exits and all other possible exits.
4. If a fire were to break out, we should avoid using the lift as a means of escape.
5. We should undergo training in first aid in case of a fire and ways to put out flames.
6. If we light a matchstick to light a candle or the stove, we should also make sure that the matchstick is properly disposed of.
7. We should always turn off the knob of our LPG cylinders when they are not in use. We should also always keep a kitchen window open so that any inflammable gas can dissipate instead of accumulating in the kitchen.
