When the bus is on fire, the driver should keep a clear head and let the passengers escape in time according to the principle of "getting on the bus before others". What drivers have to do is-stop, open the door, evacuate passengers, cut off the power supply, put out the fire and call the police. If the bus catches fire at a gas station and other places prone to explosion, the driver should drive away immediately to avoid further accidents.
Second, as a bus passenger: calmly face the fire.
Passengers must keep calm, obey the driver's instructions, don't crowd, find the nearest way out, such as doors and windows, and leave the carriage as soon as possible. You can also break the window with a life-saving hammer to escape. If you don't find a life-saving hammer, you can smash the car glass with all hard objects to escape. After escaping, assist the driver to call the police and rescue the wounded if he can.
Third, the effective use of bus escape tools
1. Use the safety hammer
Passenger cars are generally equipped with safety hammers. In case of emergency, passengers can use the "safety hammer" to smash the side window to escape. What should I do if I can't find a safety hammer in a bus fire accident? You can also find some sharp hard objects around. For example, women can use the heels of high heels, and men can break the glass with belt buckles to escape.
2. Use vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers
Buses are usually equipped with fire extinguishers, which are eye-catching in color and can be used in case of fire. When the fire degree is very low, drivers and passengers should immediately use the fire extinguisher in the car to put out the fire. If it cannot be solved, call 1 19 for help immediately.
3. Use the bleeder valve
All buses have air release valves. Turn the bleeder valve clockwise to cut off the air passage of the door. In this state, the front and rear doors can be manually opened inside or outside the car to facilitate evacuation.
4. Use the skylight of the bus
Passengers can open the skylight by turning the red wrench on the roof skylight to escape quickly. At the same time, most air-conditioned buses are equipped with escape doors and escape windows at the rear of the carriage, so passengers sitting at the rear of the carriage can quickly open two nearby passages to escape.
5. Cover your nose and mouth and keep breathing smoothly.
If the car is in danger of catching fire, people will be emotional and easily lead to shortness of breath, thus speeding up the inhalation of smoke. Therefore, in case of similar danger, holding your breath for a short time, or covering your nose and mouth with a wet towel, finding a vent or breaking a glass probe as soon as possible can increase the chances of survival.
