Yucaipa Fires / What to do in a fire

Recently there have been many fires in California (La Canada).  Today, fires were reported in the Yucaipa area.  The fires have burned at least 200 acres, and the 14 freeway has been closed due to safety reasons.  Officials say that the winds may change and pick up.  Currently the fires are traveling at about 2.5 mph.
Our governor said that three families tried to save their home in La Canda.  The result, some severe burns.  Do not attempt to save your house.  If you have insurance, you should be fine.  If you are ordered to evacuate, listen!  Take only a few items that you can in the short amount of time!

What to do in a fire:
1. Know your way to escape in case of a fire.  You should know your escape route for any building that you are in.  Even businesses.  They should have escape routes posted in the building.
2. Stay Low.  Crawl on your hands and knees.  Even though this may be a slow way to escape, it is a whole lot safe.  Smokey air from fires are toxic and can deprive you of the oxygen needed for your escape.
3. Feel door knobs before opening the door.  If it feels hot or warm, don't open the door.  New oxygen entering fires on the other side is fuel for the fire.  It can be explosive.  If you do open the door and feel very warm air entering through the door, close it immediately.
4. Cover cracks and open windows.  Try to seal yourself in the room until firefighters can get to you.  If you are able to, safely climb out the window and to the ground.  If this is not possible, wait for the firefighters.
5. Don't hide.  When the firefighters are looking for you, they won't be able to if you are hiding.  Stay low to the ground and stay visible.
6. Stop, Drop, and Roll.  If you are caught on fire, the best thing to do is stop, drop, and roll.  Cover your face if the fire is close to it.
7. Don't go back.  If you are safely out the door and away from the fire, do not go back in.  Call 9-1-1 or the proper authorities and tell them if you have anything in your home -- like pets.
8. Practice.  Practice makes perfect.  Do home drills or run the drills in your head (if you are at an office building).  You don't want people to think you are crazy =D.
