"E"
Calling from an automobile (van, SUV). |
|
| Q1:
Where are you located? |
| Q2:
Are you trapped in your vehicle? |
| Q3:
Is the water deep, or flowing fast? |
| Q4:
Is your vehicle floating? If so, which direction
is it going? |
 |
| |
If the person IS trapped
in very deep, fast-moving water and/or the
vehicle is floating away (especially if
water is getting into the automobile and
their life is threatened): |
|
| |
Tell the caller... |
| |
 |
Try to open a side window, or break it
with your shoe or some other solid object. |
| |
|
Try to find a flotation device of some
sort in your automobile. If nothing else
is available, you can use a jacket or shirt
to trap air, and create your own makeshift
flotation cushion. |
| |
|
Leave the vehicle and try to make your
way to dry ground, keeping a tight grip
on the flotation device. |
|
| |
If the victim IS NOT in
very deep, fast-flowing water, nor floating
away: |
|
| |
Tell the caller... |
| |
|
Stay in your car. We are sending the fire
department. |
