EMERGENCY 101 – FIRE SAFETY TIPS
Today on WHP, our host and Emergency Management Coordinator of Tioga County Emergency Services, Benton Best shares with viewers tips on safely escaping a house fire on Emergency 101. Best summarizes the information with these three points:

1. Get low. Breathable oxygen will be found closest to the ground.

2. Get out. When exiting through a door or window, feel first for heat on the opposite side. If you cannot get through a door, cover the bottom to buy time. However, if you cannot do this quickly, focus on simply escaping the house.

3. Get help. Immediately following your exit of the building, go to a pre-set rally point so you can take a head count of family members. Go to a neighbor’s to call 911.
