If you live the in a highrise, forget what you learned in almo elementary schools. Highrise highrises have one key rule, if you have a fire, stay put, and it is counter intuitive and may sound crazy, but we will show you why it is the smartest way to survive. As you can see, with we are feet away from where the fire started. I want you to foe tis one thing, just how the fireproof this room is. This is what the modern Day Apartments are like today.

Depend depending where it is, it turns into the chimmy. In most cases people pass out with two breaths. Residents who stayed in their apartments directly next door to the fire, merged safely. That is why i suggest that they stay inside of the apartment, and call up to dispatcher, and they will let the chief know that we have a person in apartment 23a and 23b and firefighters know it is a long and anxious wait for m but remember to stay calm, and focus on putting the damp towels under the doors to keep the fire out, and be patient as the firefighters do their job while your instinct may say run, you may not get very far. Fire experts say that the bottom line here is that the most important thing that you can do the survive a fire is to have a plan in place ahead of time. A nationwide prostitution sting expected to coincide with the super bowl resulted in hundreds of arrests.
