Talk about the proper way to evacuate in case of a fire.

When the weather gets drier, there is a higher risk of a fire breaking out. It's important to do our best to prevent fires to begin with. But it's also important to familiarize ourselves with what to do when a fire does occur through fire drills.

When there is a fire, you should call 119 on the double, and evacuate. As you evacuate, you should yell 'fire' at the top of your lungs to inform others. If there is a fire alarm, you should activate the alarm. If you can't move downstairs, going to the roof is the next best thing. You should avoid the elevators and use the stairs instead.

Smoke inhalation accidents are very common in fires. That's why you should cover your nose and mouth with wet towel. If you can't get to safety, you should block gaps underneath doors using clothes or blankets. This is to block the inflow of harmful gases. Then, you wait for someone to come to your rescue.

Acting quickly is really important when a fire breaks out.

That's right. You always have to be aware of where the fire extinguishers are.

In my house, it's next to the front door.

That must stand out clearly.

But I don't konw how to use the fire extinguisher.

If you search online, there are lots of how-to videos. You should definitely watch one.
