What firefighters want you to know:The bathroom is not a safe place to hide during a fire.
Bathrooms don’t protect from smoke or heat, and many don’t have a second exit. In a fire, smoke spreads quickly, and breathing it in can be deadly within minutes.
Instead:
• Get out of the home as soon as you can using your planned escape route
• Close doors behind you as you leave to slow the fire
• If you can’t escape, go to a room with a window, seal the door, and call 911
Knowing where not to go during a fire is just as important as knowing where to go.
