Research shows that in the event of a fire people living in rural areas face a higher risk of fatality and losing property than their urban counterparts ... The following points need to be considered in order to limit the chance of fire and reduce the possible loss should a fire break out: Make sure your property is identifiable. Rural numbering is invaluable to assist in a quick response by emergency vehicles ... Ensure you have adequate water supply close by for firefighting purposes. Signpost your water supplies just in case they're needed to extinguish your neighbour's fire. Make sure portable pumps can be located within 7 meters of an open water supply. 1, record 2, English, - open%20water%20supply

Aux intersections où on retrouve des feux de circulation, utilisez la méthode du point de non-retour, c'est-à-dire le moment où votre temps de réaction est devenu insuffisant pour changer d'idée sur le geste à poser. Concrètement, si vous apercevez le feu déjà vert, regardez d'abord dans votre rétroviseur, puis planifiez votre réaction. Vous devez penser que votre premier réflexe devrait être d'arrêter si le feu changeait. Mais si vous atteignez le point de non-retour, n'essayez même pas de changer de décision et continuez. Vous serez moins un risque pour vous, et vous ne mettrez ainsi la sécurité de personne en péril. 1, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20du%20point%20de%20non%2Dretour
