Don't blindly choose the right "escape route"

At 13:51 on April 23, 2024, a fire broke out in a resident's home in Xiamen, Fujian Province.

At the time of the fire, Mr. Cai, who lived on the 10th floor, was awakened by a heat wave. When Mr. Cai got up to check, he found that the living room was full of smoke. He quickly retreated to his bedroom, closed the door, and let his 10-year-old daughter hide in the bedroom bathroom and face the window to get some fresh air. Mr. Cai then blocked the crack in the bedroom door with a wet towel, returned to the bathroom and called 119 to call the police. Fire and rescue personnel quickly arrived at the scene, and after successfully opening the door, they quickly found the trapped father and daughter and evacuated to safety. At the same time, open fires were extinguished.
