Welcome to First Aid Course Smoke and Fumes

Never enter a burning or smoke filled room

Smoke and fumes in a confined space create an environment that is low in oxygen and may be polluted by carbon monoxide and toxic fumes.
If trapped in a burning building, get down on your knees and crawl across the smoke filled room (air is cleanest at the lowest level). Go to a room with a window and close the door. Encourage and assist others to evacuate (leave) the area.
