Related data show that most of the victims at the fire scene in the tunnel die of smoke. How can people survive if encounter a tunnel fire?
Fire protection experts suggest that drivers should not turn around when encountering a fire in the tunnel. If the fire happened behind you, continue to move forward and accelerate out of the tunnel. For a vehicle located at the rear, the driver should get off the vehicle decisively and abandon the vehicle to escape. The correct escape route is to run along the inner side of the tunnel. The fire doors on the inner wall (there is an "emergency exit" sign above the door) are not locked. Enter the emergency exit or the reverse tunnel by pushing the door open. When escaping, cover your mouth and nose with a towel or clothing (damp with water is better) to filter out smoke and prevent poisoning, and bend down and walk.
Fire protection experts reminded that when abandoning the vehicle to escape, do not close the door and leave the key in the vehicle so that rescuers can remove the vehicle when needed.
