PERSON
FROM FIRE

18. 1. HOW TO RESCUE A PERSON FROM
FIRE
Covering a Clothes Fire
Wrap someone whose clothes are burning in
the fire blanket

19. HAVE THE PERSON STOP, DROP,
AND ROLL
Instruct the person in danger to stop, drop, and roll.

A person stop moving, drops to the ground, and rolls
until the fire suffocates

Burns caused by fire should be evaluated by a medical
professional as soon as possible. Even if you think the
burns look minor, any injury caused by fire should be
evaluated by a medical professional. Take the person
whose clothes were on fire to the ER immediately

21. HOW TO RESCUE SOMEONE FROM A
BURNING CAR
CRASH

22. 2
. HOW TO RESCUE SOMEONE FROM A BURNING CAR
CRASH
Rescuing someone yourself is
something you shouldn't do unless the
car is on fire, or smoking and leaking
gasoline.
You should always
call the Emergency Services first.
However in emergencies you have to
act, even against some common rules.

23. DIVERT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE
CRASHED & BURNING VEHICLE
Use your car and park it behind the wrecked car, at
least 100 feet (30.5 m) away, and turn on your hazard
lights.
Deploy traffic cones and other traffic control devices if
you have them.
Generally other vehicles are far more dangerous for you
than the risk of an explosion.

24. KNOW THAT A CAR WILL NOT
EXPLODE UNTIL THE GAS TANK IS
EMPTY OF GASOLINE.
Liquids are not explosive, vapor from a
flammable substance is. So a leaking gas tank
raises the risk of an explosion.

25. CALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES
.

26. ESTIMATE THE DANGER .

27. ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH THE
FIRE, IF YOU HAVE A FIRE
EXTINGUISHER
Get the spurt directly in the flames. Use your
little capacity as efficiently and as quickly as
possible

28. TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE
PASSENGERS
Rush to the driver's window and check how many
passengers there are. If they are conscious tell
them to unbuckle themselves and try to get out

29. GET IN SAFELY
 If the doors are smashed in, try to take them out
through the windows.
 If the windows are not completely smashed out, take
your shirt off and wrap your fist in it. Punch through
the glass and rip large shards off, so the person can get
out.
Don't take a lot of time doing this, cuts are not as life
threatening as an explosion

30. UNBUCKLE THEIR SEATBELTS
the buckling mechanism is damaged the belt will
need to be cut.

31. PULL THE OCCUPANTS OUT OF
THE CAR
Carry the victims away.

AID

34. Introductory to First Aid
The Aim of First Aid?
Learn these 3 ‘P’s:
Preserve life
Prevent further injury
Promote recovery

35. NOSE BLEED

36. Diagnosis
Nosebleed •Do not lean back.
•Learning back can be harmful as
the blood could get into the
windpipe, blocking the airway.
•Sit in a comfortable upright position and
lean forward slightly.
•Then pinch your nose just below the
bony bridge and above the fleshy lobes of
the nostrils until the bleeding is stemmed.
Aftercare: Once the bleeding is
controlled, do not blow your nose as this
might dislodge the clot and make you
bleed again.
