Think First in an Emergency By JOHN M GATES

In this Safety column a series of tragic incidents shows impulsive acts in emergencies lead to deaths. A teen hero drowns saving a girl from water, a woman roars to a fatal fire, a motorist acts bravely and dies, and a bystander who brakes on ice causes harm. Experts urge thinking first, then acting with safe, tested methods and using throws or improvised flotation. The Red Cross advises throwing flotation instead of diving to rescue. The piece underscores testing doors for heat before opening and maintaining controlled braking on slick roads.
