fire extinguishing blanket

The most dangerous place is the kitchen.
Many people are not consciously aware they work with gas, electricity and open fire.
They're so used to it, that they're not prepared for the dangers.

A fire extinguishing blanket should be in every kitchen.

Hang one at a place where you are able to reach it when a fire starts.

And read the text and see the images.
If necessary look up on internet how they can be used the best way.

Many firedepartments are quite willing to demonstrate to schools and individuals how to deal with a kitchenfire. Use the opportunity and phone them.

Take care you're working safe and be prepared.

fire escape

When living in an apartment building you know where the signs are for the fire escape.
But have you ever considered the fact that you won't be able to see them when there's smoke in the building?

And in a one family home... do you know the fire escape?

No matter where you are it's important to know what you need to do when there's fire and/or smoke.

So write down your own fire escape plan.

Made the plan available for anyone who visits you. Discuss it.

It might seem strange, but it isn't.

Every life saved is a life.

Going the whole way of the fire escape is a good way to see where tricky situations might develop.
On top of stairs, near doors...

Report them to the home owner and mark them in your head, with the solutions.

no bandaid?

Sometimes there's no bandaid available and you need something desinfected to cover a wound.

Do you know that ironing a washed towel and handkerchief makes them desinfected too?
Use lots of steam.

When you put them in a desinfected box you have the perfect material to cover wounds, even very large ones.
