Fire Safety
Fires often involve materials that are flammable.
flammable Able to catch fire easily
Fires happen in more than 370,000 homes in the United States each year, killing more than 3,300 people.
Flammable materials may catch fire due to a spark, an open flame, or a burning object such as a lighted cigarette.

14. Some fires start from electrical overload.
Fire Safety
Some fires start from electrical overload.
electrical overload A dangerous situation in which too much electrical current flows along a single circuit
Shredded wires or torn cords can also start fires.

15. Causes of Fires in the Home
Fire Safety
Causes of Fires in the Home
Careless cooking
Careless smoking
Incorrect storage of flammable materials
Careless cooking:
Spattered grease and oil can cause kitchen fires. Unattended cooking pots can spill onto burners or in the oven.
Careless smoking:
Cigarettes can start fires if people leave them unattended or fall asleep while they are still burning. Cigarettes can also start fires if people toss them in the trash when they are still burning.
Incorrect storage of flammable materials:
Materials that could be flammable if stored incorrectly include paints, paint thinner, old newspapers, and rags.
Damaged electrical systems or electrical overload:
A fire can result when too much electrical current flows through a circuit. Shredded wires or torn cords can also lead to fires.
Gas leaks:
Gas lines can leak and catch fire. Natural gas is odorless and colorless, so it has an additive that makes it smell. If you smell gas, first get out of the house, then call 911.
Damaged electrical systems or electrical overload
Gas leaks

16. Preventing Fires
Keep stoves and ovens clean.
Keep flammable materials away from burners.
Never let a smoker toss a cigarette into a trashcan before making sure it is completely extinguished.
Remind people not to smoke in bed.
Store matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

17. Preventing Fires
Never play with matches or lighters.
Check appliances regularly for loose or damaged cords.
Never pull on the cord to unplug an appliance.
Never run cords under rugs or carpets.
If you see a worn or shredded cord, tell an adult.

18. Being Prepared in Case of Fire
A smoke alarm can save your life.
smoke alarm A device that sounds an alarm when it senses smoke
Every level of the house should have smoke alarms.
Install smoke alarms close to sleeping areas and bedrooms.
Test smoke alarms every month.
Put in fresh batteries once a year.
Smoke alarms are especially useful when you are sleeping and might not notice the early signs of a fire.

19. Being Prepared in Case of Fire
Do not use water to put out fires that involve grease, oil, or electricity. Use a fire extinguisher.
fire extinguisher A device that sprays chemicals that put out fires
Water will put out fires in which paper, wood, or cloth is burning.
Using water on a grease, oil, or electrical fire will actually make the fire worse.
Read the fire extinguisher’s directions, and make sure that you know how to use it properly.

20. Being Prepared in Case of Fire
Create a Fire Escape Plan With Your Family
Know escape routes from each bedroom.
Choose a meeting point outside.
Practice the escape plan.
Most fires happen at night, so it is important to know escape routes from each bedroom.

22. Fire Escape Plan Homework
You are a volunteer fire fighter.  You need to make a diagram of your home, a fire escape plan and two ways to exit safely from two specific rooms.  In your diagram, you need to label where your smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit are located.  Also, have a family discussion and determine your central meeting place located some where outside the home.  After your escape route and meeting place is established meet with your family to practice the two escape routes.

24. How Accidental Injuries Happen
If you think about the last accident you had, you can probably see the accident chain that led up to it.
The Unsafe Habit
The Unsafe Action
The Situation
Here is an example of the accident chain in action:
The situation:
Tony has overslept. He wakes up in a panic. The bus is coming in 15 minutes. Tony runs to the bathroom to wash up.
The unsafe habit:
Tony didn’t put his books away from the night before. He just left them on the floor.
The unsafe action:
Without looking where his is going, Tony runs to the bathroom to wash up.
The accident:
In his hurry, Tony trips over his books and falls down.
The result:
When Tony falls, he sprains his wrist. He not only misses his bus, but he’s also in a lot of pain.

50. What Are Weather Emergencies?
People cannot prevent weather emergencies.
weather emergencies Dangerous situations brought on by changes in the atmosphere
A weather watch indicates that a storm is likely to develop.
A weather warning indicates that a severe storm has developed and a weather emergency is happening.
If your area is under a storm warning, turn of the television or radio and follow the instructions of the NWS and local officials.
The National Weather Service (NWS) sends out bulletins in the form of storm watches and storm warnings.

51. What Are Weather Emergencies?
Satellites and computers help scientists predict the paths of storms.
Television and the Internet help warn the public of danger.
Satellites gather a lot of weather data very quickly. This data is fed into powerful computers that can predict the path of storms by comparing current weather patterns to those from the past.
Early warnings give people time to plan and stay safe.

52. A tornado is a type of weather emergency.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a type of weather emergency.
tornado A whirling, funnel-shaped windstorm that drops from storm clouds to the ground
Tornados can happen anywhere.
Tornados typically happen in the summer.
Tornadoes can be up to a mile wide.
Tornadoes move at about 25 to 40 miler per hour.
Tornados are most common in the Midwest and states nearest to the Gulf of Mexico. This region is known as “Tornado Alley.”

53. If A Tornado Is Happening
Tornadoes
If A Tornado Is Happening
Where to Go
What to Do
Go to a cellar or basement.
Cover yourself with whatever protection you can find.
If you cannot get underground, go to a windowless room or hallway.
If you are outside, stay away from trees, cars, and anything that could fall on you.
Get under heavy furniture, in a bathtub, or under a mattress.
If you are outside, lie in a ditch or flat on the ground.
Stay where you are. The storm will pass quickly.

54. Hurricanes
Each hurricane has a center, or eye, where the weather conditions are calm.
hurricane A strong windstorm with driving rain that forms over the sea
Most hurricanes happen in the late summer or early fall.
Hurricanes form and move slowly, giving people time to plan ahead.
The strong winds of a hurricane come from the swirling cloud mass that surrounds it.

55. If A Hurricane Is Happening
Hurricanes
If A Hurricane Is Happening
Board up windows and doors. Bring inside items that the wind could smash into houses.
Evacuate, or leave the area, immediately if the NWS tells you to do so.
If no evacuation is called for, stay indoors away from windows and doors.

56. Hurricanes
This is an image taken of a hurricane. The NWS uses satellite technology to forecast the direction of storms.

57. A blizzard can last anywhere from an hour or two to several days.
Blizzards
A blizzard can last anywhere from an hour or two to several days.
blizzard A very heavy snowstorm with winds up to 45 miles per hour
The driving snow that blizzard brings makes it very hard to see anything.
People who leave their houses during blizzards can lose their sense of direction easily.
During a blizzard, always stay inside.

58. Hypothermia can lead to death.
Blizzards
Hypothermia can shut down your body’s systems, so they stop functioning properly.
hypothermia A sudden and dangerous drop in body temperature
Hypothermia can lead to death.

59. If A Blizzard Is Happening

If A Blizzard Is Happening
Get inside and stay inside.
When outside, keep your head, face, and body covered and warm.
It is especially important to protect your head from the cold because most body heat escapes from the head.
If you are in a car, pull over to the side of the road, and turn on the flashers.

60. Do Now:
Did you do anything exciting over the break? If so, what?
What is one natural disaster we discussed last class and what are 2 ways to protect yourself from these disasters?

61. Thunderstorms and Lightning
Lighting is a dramatic and dangerous side effect of thunderstorms.
Florida leads the United States in the number of lightning storms that happen each year.
Florida is also the leading state for the number of people killed by lighting each year.

62. Thunderstorms and Lightning
If A Thunderstorm Is Happening
Stay inside or seek shelter as soon as possible.
Unplug electrical appliances and computers.
Be prepared for power loss.
Avoid using the telephone.
If you are outside, crouch low to the ground and stay away from electrical poles and wires, tall trees, water, and metal objects.

63. What Are Natural Disaster?
A natural disaster is an event caused by nature that results in widespread damage.
Basic Supplies for Natural Disasters
Natural disasters include floods and earthquakes.
Buy several days’ worth of fresh water.
Have a radio, a flashlight, batteries, blankets, canned goods, a can opener, and a first-aid kit.

64. Flash-flood waters rise very quickly and are very powerful.
Floods
Flash-flood waters rise very quickly and are very powerful.
Two feet of moving water has enough force to sweep away cars.
Of natural disasters, only floods kill more people than lightning strikes.

65. Floods Surviving Floods Head for higher ground.
Never walk, swim, ride a bike, or drive a car through flooding water.
Drink only bottled water.
If the NWS issues a flood watch for your area, follow their instructions.
Remember to take your emergency kit and go to the highest place in your home.
Listen to a battery-powered radio for a flood warning.
If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately.
If you have evacuated the area, return home only after you are told it is safe to do so.
After returning home, throw away contaminated food and disinfect everything that has come into contact with the floodwater.

66. A large earthquake is usually followed by a series of aftershocks.
Earthquakes
A large earthquake is usually followed by a series of aftershocks.

74. In an emergency situation: Call 911.
Emergency Situations
In an emergency situation:
Call 911.
Give your name, location, and reason for calling.
Explain the condition of the injured person.
Describe what help the injured person has received.
If you cannot call 911, have someone call.
Time is critical in emergency situations. Acting quickly and correctly can save someone’s life.

75. Knowing first aid may help you deal with some emergency situations.
first aid The immediate care given to someone who becomes injured or ill until regular medical care can be provided
Anyone who has received first aid should be taken to a medical provider as soon as possible.

76. Restoring Breathing and Heartbeat
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (or CPR) should only be performed by someone who has been trained and certified to perform the procedure.
If the heart stops beating, the flow of blood to the brain stops. When the brain stops functioning, breathing also stops. In this situation, a person trained in rescue skills first needs to know if the victim can respond. The rescuer shakes the person gently and shouts, “Are you OK?” If there is no response, the trained rescuer asks someone to call 911 and begins cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
cardiopulmonary resuscitation A first-aid procedure to restore breathing and circulation

77. Restoring Breathing and Heartbeat
CPR involves several steps including:
Checking the airway.
Checking breathing.
Checking circulation.
Performing rescue breathing.
Performing chest compressions.
rescue breathing A first aid procedure where someone forces air into the lungs of a person who cannot breathe on his or her own

78. The ABCs of CPR

79. Performing the CPR Cycles

80. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
An automated external defibrillator (AED) sends a quick jolt of electricity to the heart through the chest to make a heart start beating.
More and more public places keep AEDs on hand.
An AED is used when a person’s heart stops beating.
Police and other people can receive training on how to use AEDs.

81. How to Help Someone Who is Choking
Choking results when a person’s airway becomes blocked by food or accidentally swallowed objects.
Signs of Choking
If someone appears to be choking but can still cry, speak, or cough forcefully, do not try to give first aid.
If the person makes no sound and cannot speak or cough, give first aid.
Grabbing throat and neck
Gagging
Wheezing
Turning blue in the face

82. How to Help Someone Who is Choking
For an adult or older child who is choking, use abdominal thrusts.
abdominal thrusts Quick, inward and upward pulls into the diaphragm to force an obstruction out of the airway
To perform this procedure, stand behind the victim and wrap your arms around him or her until your hands meet in front. Use both hands to pull inward and upward.

83. How to Help Someone Who is Choking
If an infant is choking, use chest thrusts.
chest thrusts Quick presses into the middle of the breastbone to force an obstruction out of the airway
If an infant is choking:
Hold the infant face down along your forearm.
Hit the area on the infant’s back between the shoulder blades five times with the heel of your other hand.
Turn the infant over and perform chest thrusts.

85. How to Help Someone Who is Choking
If you start to choke and there’s no one around, use your fist and hand to perform abdominal thrusts.
If this does not work right away, do abdominal thrusts on a low railing or the back of a chair.

86. How to Stop Severe Bleeding
Before you help someone who is bleeding, put on protective gloves.
Never touch anyone else’s blood.
Severe bleeding is a life-threatening emergency. Blood loss prevents oxygen from getting to the body’s organs.
Never touch anyone else’s blood because the blood may contain pathogens.

87. How to Stop Severe Bleeding
Cover the wound with a clean cloth.
Elevate the bleeding area so that it is above the level of the heart.
If the bleeding doesn’t stop, apply pressure to a pressure point or a main artery between the wound and the heart.
Cover the wound with a clean cloth:
Apply direct pressure by pressing firmly against the wound with your hand. Do not remove the cloth if it becomes soaked with blood. Add a second cloth and keep pressing.
Elevate the bleeding area:
If you think the injury also involves a broken bone, don’t move the body part.
Apply pressure to a a pressure point:
Only use pressure points if direct pressure does not stop bleeding. If you have not been properly trained in the use of pressure points, ask for help from someone who has been trained.
After the bleeding has stopped, stay with the victim until medical help arrives.

88. Burns How to Avoid Burns Never play with matches or fire.
Handle hot foods carefully.
Avoid making the water too hot in the shower.
Use sunscreen and limit your time in the sun.

89. Flush the burned area with cold water for at least 15 minutes.
