For John Thomas "such talks are necessary because the issue of prevention is very important because throughout our lives we find ourselves in a situation where we have to act before a fire. Orientate these talks to people adopt rules of proper behavior for responding to these situations. The fire can come in any situation, whether at work, at home, as in the woods, etc.
The head of the firefighters stated that "it is related both to do, like you never have to do is prevent from reaching the fire and if it comes to knowing what to do in those first moments, as citizens we have in our power to prevent its development and spread and what would be a fire confined to a limited space, to do well to get it wrong the consequences can be very different. "

If we fail and developed, there is smoke, not breathing and a dangerously hot, right there to close the door, remove electrical power from the building, leaving an orderly manner, call the 1-1-2 to report the situation and wait for emergency services arrive to take charge of the fire "
