Keep calm and use your head. Small fires can be put out by smothering with a rug or dousing with a pail of water. Food or grease burning on the stove can be best put out by putting a metal lid over the pan or kettle containing the burning food. Dont try to put out such a fire with water. It will cause the burning grease to splatter violently. Every home should have at least one dependable fire extinguisher. Home fire drills should be held periodically. Children should be taught what to do in case of fire: never open a hot door. Go to a window and wait for rescue. Cover nose and mouth with a wet towel or handkerchief if the room is full of smoke. Crawl near the floor as the carbon monoxide fumes in the smoke rise to the upper part of the room. .If clothing catch on fire, dont run.
