First, if the escaping stairs isn’t blocked and the fire isn’t very fierce, students will evacuate the building with wet towel or wetclothes on nose and mouth.

Students should close the doors and windows when leaving rooms to keep fire away from you. Do not open the door if it is hot, otherwise, the fire and smoke will rush through rooms.
