🔥 If Fire Breaks Out

  1. Don’t panic – act fast but calm.

  2. Shout “Fire!” loudly to alert others.

  3. Use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small and manageable.

  9. Have a list of utility helplines ready.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What should I do first in any home emergency?

A: Stay calm. First, make sure you and your family are safe. Then quickly assess the situation. Call emergency services if needed. Never take big risks unless you’re trained.

Q2: Should I try to put out a fire myself?

A: Only if it’s very small (like a trash can fire) and you have the right extinguisher. If it’s spreading or you’re unsure, get out and call the fire department.

Q3: What if my child swallows a small object or medicine?

A: Don’t make them vomit unless instructed. Call a poison control number or take them to the emergency room. Keep all medicines locked away.

Q4: How can I remember all this in panic?

A: Create an emergency chart and stick it near your door or kitchen. Teach all family members. Do a safety drill once every 3 months.

Q5: Can I give first aid without training?

A: For minor cuts or burns – yes. But for CPR, choking, electric shock, or unconsciousness – basic training helps a lot. Take a free or low-cost course in your area.

Q6: What tools should I always keep ready at home?

A: Flashlight, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, power bank, whistle, extra batteries, emergency numbers list, and a gas leak alarm.

📝 Final Thoughts

Most people believe “It won’t happen to me.” But home incidents are more common than we think — from a simple burn to a gas leak or electric shock. What saves lives is not luck, but knowledge + action.

These 50 mind-blowing tips are not just suggestions — they are life-saving habits. Print them, teach your family, and stay prepared.
