Top 10 Things I Learned at Fire Training

10. If you're in danger or trouble, pull the fire alarm. It's better than calling for "help."

9. The best place for a smoke detector is above the corner if a door, that's where the smoke comes through.

8. 97% of fire-related deaths are due to smoke inhalation; NOT burns.

7. A stairway in a commercial building, hospital, etc. should keep you safe for two hours. Walk slowly, you'll be fine.

6. The two most important things to keep by your bed are a flashlight and pair if slippers.

5. In an earthquake, stay inside.

4. If you use your cell phone to call 911, it will actually call your home state. Not a problem if you've never moved, but kind of a problem otherwise.

3. If someone is on fire, aim the fire extinguisher at their face. Burned feet don't kill you.

2. Close the door!

1. Seriously, close the door!!
