There is a fire outside your room. Don’t open the door until you test it. How do you go about testing it?

Touch the door and door knob. If it is hot, do not open it. Go to a window. If it’s not hot, open it slowly, yell “FIRE-FIRE-FIRE.” Go to the nearest exit, away from the fire. Stay low on the floor. Crawling is an excellent means to avoid the smoke.
