    Don't be stupid!

    It is generally believed that the toilet is damp and has no combustibles, so it should be a good place to take refuge from the fire. But in fact, the danger of fire lies more in smoke than fire, and open flames are easy to dodge, but the large amount of toxic gases produced by combustion is the most deadly. Fire is toxic smoke can enter the toilet through the ventilation duct, the toilet space is small, the concentration of toxic substances will rise rapidly, and the toilet usually has no windows (even if there is very small) and most of them are located in the hidden places of the building, once trapped escape and rescue is extremely difficult.

    So taking refuge in the toilet in the event of a fire is tantamount to self-destruction.

    As an emergency fire shelter, the toilet has advantages, such as having sufficient water sources, allowing water to cool down, and making escape aids such as wet towels, and the door is relatively closed and not easy to pass through smoke. However, the disadvantages of the bathroom are also obvious. The bathrooms of many families are relatively hidden, some are far away from the door, and some are in the bedroom, which will lead to the inability to search for the first time during the rescue, delaying the rescue time.

    And the most lethal point, some bathroom windows are too small, or even an extremely closed space without windows, once the smoke breaks through the door, there is no way to even breathe out of the window and call for help, and the probability of escape is even lower.

    I looked at my bathroom, the door was wooden, the ceiling was combustible, and I felt that even if the ceiling was removed and all wet, it would still be unsafe.

OK. The best place to take refuge is where the "Triangle of Life" can be formed. For example, the corners of load-bearing walls, next to large refrigerators, next to sturdy furniture, kitchens, toilets, storage rooms, etc., and small places with trembling. >>>More

If it's not safe, to lie down or lie on one side of the furniture, this is the life-saving triangle. If something hits the furniture, it will be held up by the furniture, and there is exactly a triangular gap, and it is dangerous for the furniture to collapse under the furniture. This is the most basic common sense.

When I was a student, I still couldn't smoke openly, so it's better to hide.

There are many bathroom pipes, especially thick sewer pipes to support the role, and the space is small, after the wall collapses, a relatively large gap will be formed for people to hide, on the contrary, when the room space is large, the probability of the wall collapsing and hurting people is very large, so it is best to hide in the bathroom after the earthquake, and it is best not to go to the kitchen, because the kitchen has gas pipes and other accidents are prone to accidents! Or hide next to your bed, under a solid writing desk, etc., although the chance of earthquake is less, but the necessary self-help common sense must be remembered!!
