– As a rule, people, finding themselves in a situation of smoke, make a typical mistake: they open windows. Smoke from the burning apartment rises along the corridor and ventilation to the upper floors. Open windows in apartments create additional draft, as a result, more smoke enters the room and people simply suffocate, the expert noted. – If smoke is detected, open the window in the kitchen and, if possible, close the ventilation to make it difficult for smoke to enter from there.
See how smoke spreads in a typical nine-story apartment building. Remember this information – it can save lives.
