Adults must extinguish the fire, but every schoolchild and organized senior preschooler can give an alarm. The child should know that the fire service number is 01, and 112 should be dialed by cell phone. You should call the service, clearly state the address, name and surname and wait for help.
If the fire started in the apartment, but the adults are not at home, you need to run away from the fire, be sure to close the door behind yourself so that the fire does not spread further.
If the door of the house was closed and it was impossible to exit, you need to scream out the window, call for help. It is certainly very scary to be in a burning apartment, but you cannot hide in a closet, under a bed or other secret places, because it is very difficult for firefighters to find children in such places.
In the event of clothing tanning, one must fall to the floor or to the ground and ride until the fire is completely extinguished. If you burn your hands, you need to substitute it under a stream of cold water and call for help from adults. If there is a fire in the staircase, you must not leave the apartment. You need to open a window or balcony (at least a window) and loudly call for help.
In case of fire in the house, you should not use the elevator, since it can stop between floors and lock in a real trap.
Let the peaceful fire not scare the children!
