Context & protective measures
Background: in a building or industrial fire, the greatest danger to people comes not from the flames but from the smoke. The toxic smoke gases spread quickly, reduce visibility and can cause unconsciousness within a short time — smoke is more dangerous than the fire itself. To alert the fire brigade, the emergency number 118 applies throughout Switzerland.
