What to do if you're caught in a high-rise building fire By Jessica Suerth and Paul LeBlanc, CNN
(CNN)The flames lit up the night sky. Thick, dark smoke poured out of windows and in the end, a charred and brittle structure remained, almost unrecognizable.
The burning of a West London high-rise apartment building left at least 17 people dead earlier this week.
"If the building in London had sprinklers, you and I wouldn't be talking right now," says Glenn Corbett, associate professor of fire science at New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
In his view, your safety in a high-rise depends, almost entirely, on the high-rise itself. The higher up you are, the longer it's going to take to get out.
So, in the event of a high-rise apartment fire, what are the best steps to protect yourself?
1. Don't panic
The first sign of a fire is typically a blaring alarm system. But once you see or smell smoke, you should immediately call 911 and tell the operator where you are in the building. Due to the massive size of a high-rise building, this will help first responders locate you more quickly and will help firefighters determine how much of the building is threatened.
2.Be quick, but in control
When faced with danger, your first instinct is to flee as quickly as possible. Don't.
"Normally, most procedures in ... residential high-rise fires have people stay in their apartments, unless the fire is in their apartment, adjacent to their apartment or their apartment is being impacted by the fire," Corbett says.
Why? Because in most scenarios, especially if residents are on higher floors, it's too dangerous and difficult for them to leave.
"It's happened time and time again: people left their apartments and tried to make it down the stairs. It's basically like walking into a chimney," Corbett says.
"There's a natural inclination to get out. But you could be put in more danger trying to do that."
However, if the stairs are a clear and safe option, use them.
3. Decide if it's safer to stay or go
If you decide to stay:
Unless your apartment is actively threatened by the fire, stay put. Place wet towels under your doors and cover your vents to limit smoke coming in. Then wait for first responders.
If you decide to leave:
Don't go up to the roof or use the elevators. Also, don't break a window and definitely don't try to jump.
Witness: People were jumping out of windows

These methods of escape could be dangerous -- even deadly.
Corbett says there should be one item that you should prioritize when fleeing: your key.
This is important in case you leave your apartment and quickly find your hallway or stairs blocked. You might have to turn back.

Flower Color Meanings & Symbolism proflowers.com
Flowers can send a lot of messages. There’s no denying the meaning of a bountiful red rose bouquet, but have you ever wondered what other flower colors are saying?
Red Flowers
It's no surprise that a bouquet of red roses is the symbol for passion during courtship. Red is an undeniable symbol of love and romance, primarily because the color red is associated with the heart. Red also represents the color of flushed cheeks. In addition to desire, red can also represent strength and courage, two very important characteristics when you're about to go on that first date.
Yellow Flowers
Don't mistake a bouquet of yellow blooms as a ticket to the "friend zone." What yellow may lack in romance, it makes up for in lightheartedness and compassion. Yellow flowers make a great workplace gift to a coworker having a rough week or to show your appreciation for someone's hard work. Because yellow comes in softer tones than orange or red, it can also symbolize understanding and a willingness to renew broken relationships.
Blue Flowers
While red can spark feelings of romance, blue can keep a romantic fire burning. A symbol of commitment and peace, blue flowers are a popular choice among couples who want to communicate trust. Blue can also calm worries and signal support, making it an appropriate gift for greiving or sick friends. If you're feeling stressed, display a bouquet of blue flowers nearby to act as a calming presence in the room.
Purple Flowers
Rooted in roytalty, purple is commonly associated with signs of wealth and elegance. It also represents vibrant creativity and can be a great mood booster for those in need of a challenge. Purple flowers are a popular gift alternative to red bouquets as they represent an important transition in life, such as a move, engagement or major life change.
White Flowers
White flowers express purity, innocence, thoughtfulness and fidelity. A popular choice for a bride's bouquet or ceremonial displays, white flowers can stand alone as single bouquets or pair well with other romantic-colored flowers like red or pink. In addition, fixing white with other colorful blooms enforces the authenticity of a meaning, expressing the highest levels of understanding.
