How to escape a subway fire (Metro Escape Manual)

In recent years, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other cities have successively established urban rail transit. In late November of this year, the Hangzhou Metro Line 1 has been commissioned. In the face of this new mode of transport, the public is very concerned about the fact that in addition to novelty, it is also a little unfamiliar to the public, and subway emergency rescue knowledge is common. There is a sudden fire in the moving subway. How can passengers escape? Subway Escape Manual :

1. Memorize safety exits

After entering the subway, it is necessary to observe the layout of its internal facilities and structure, and remember the location of the evacuation passage safety exit.

2. In case of fire alarm

At the junction of every two cars, there is a red emergency button. When a passenger encounters a sudden situation, the button can be pressed at any time to inform the train driver.

3. Find a fire extinguisher to save yourself

A red fire extinguisher mark is attached to both car junctions and near the door, and the arrow indicates where the fire extinguisher is located.

4. Do not jump at the window

Due to the narrow space in the tunnel, passengers must not try to break the glass or open the safety door to escape. Emergency evacuation doors are provided at the front and rear of the train, and passengers should be evacuated in turn from the front and rear.

5. Wet cloth mouth and nose

Smoke is too heavy. Passengers can use their masks, handkerchiefs or clothes to cover their nose and mouth. If you have mineral water and drinks around you, moisten the cloth.

6. Escape to run against the wind

When the train travels to the station, listen to the unified command of the station staff. In the course of evacuation, you must judge the direction and see which platform is closer to you in order to win the rescue time. There is one important point to remember when escaping from the subway: run up the wind, that is, run against the wind to avoid inhaling toxic gases. (People's Public Security News)

Subway Fire Escape Characteristics and Principles

The fire department of Xiuzhou District, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province specially collected and learned a lot about the characteristics of subway fires: 1. The speed of burning and spreading is high; 2. The high temperature and heavy smoke seriously endanger; 3. The personnel are relatively concentrated, and evacuation and rescue are difficult.

In view of the above characteristics, relevant personnel of the fire department reminded the public that the subway escape should follow three principles.

Keeping Order: Firefighters advise that subway traffic is heavy. Once a fire breaks out, passengers can easily lose their reason and run around. The ability of passengers to escape from the entire compartment is very different. Once chaotic, the rescue of firefighters will be hundreds or even thousands of times more difficult.

Stay calm: People are in a small confined space, and it is easy to panic in the event of a problem. Calmness is very important at this time. Observe the observation. For example, in the Hangzhou Metro station hall and near the platform, there are alarms, telephone connections, and fire hydrants. There is a special manual alarm in the hall. In the event of a fire, the smoke exhaust system will automatically open. Passengers can press the emergency button, where the wind blows, and where the person runs.

Don't squat down: The crowd in the carriage is complicated and the ability to escape is different. In particular, women, children, and the elderly are paralyzed immediately because of fear. This can lead to stampede and unnecessary safety damage.
