  1. What should a family do first when a fire starts in the home?
    Show the answer

  2. What is the safest way to help someone touching a live electric wire?
    Show the answer

    Shut off power at the source. Turning off the power removes the danger. Never touch the person or wire yourself.

  3. If someone's clothes catch fire, what should they do?
    Show the answer

    Stop, drop, and roll. Stop, drop, and roll smothers flames. Running can make fire burn faster.
