Survival tips
You cannot outrun a fire If fire crews are near, stay with them and follow their instructions. If not:
- Crouch in a pond or river.
- Cover head and upper body with wet clothing.
- If water is not around, look for shelter in a cleared area or among a bed of rocks.
- Lie flat and cover body with wet clothing or soil.
- Breathe the air close to the ground through a wet cloth to avoid scorching lungs or inhaling smoke.
