Smoke canopy

A smoke canopy is a device that helps protect people from smoke during a fire. Imagine you have a big umbrella made of clear plastic that you can hold up over your head. This is like a smoke canopy.

When there is a fire, smoke is released into the air. It is important to avoid inhaling smoke because it can make you very sick. A smoke canopy helps people by stopping the smoke from getting to them directly. It gives them time to move to a safer place where they can breathe fresh air.

The smoke canopy is usually made of a special kind of plastic that is clear and flexible. It is also fire resistant, which means that it won't catch fire easily. It is held up by a frame that is strong enough to support the weight of the canopy and keep it in place above people's heads.

People should always follow the instructions for using a smoke canopy carefully. They should stand under it and move slowly and calmly to a safe area. Firefighters may also use smoke canopies to help people get out of buildings during fires. Remember, if there is a fire, stay calm, and listen to the people who are there to help you.
