If a Fire is violent, wet a blanket, and throw it on the part which is in flames.
1381. Chimney Fire (1)
Should a Fire break out in the Kitchen Chimney, or any other, a blanket wetted should be nailed to the upper ends of the mantelpiece, so as to cover the opening entirely; the fire will then go out of itself: for this purpose two knobs should be permanently fixed in the upper ends of the mantelpiece, on which the blanket may be hitched.
1382. Curtains on Fire
Should the Bed or Window Curtains be on fire, lay hold of any woollen garment, and beat it on the flames until extinguished.
1383. No Draughts
Avoid leaving the Window Or Door open in the room where the fire has broken out, as the current of air increases the force of the fire.
