question 8
when responding to a house fire it is important to do which of the following?
opening doors and vents when trapped in a room
during fire stand up straight to see best
before opening any doors feel the knobs for heat - if hot do not open
grab any pets on your way out of the building

Explanation:

• Opening doors and vents when trapped in a room can let in more oxygen, fueling the fire.
• Standing up straight during a fire exposes one to more heat and toxic smoke.
• Grabbing pets on the way out can delay escape and put one at risk.
• Feeling door knobs for heat before opening is a safety - check. If hot, the fire is likely on the other side.

Answer:

Before opening any doors feel the knobs for heat - if hot do not open.
