  By 蔡宗翰

  家中失火，躲浴室就對了？樓下失火，往上跑為上策？遭遇濃煙，溼毛巾摀口鼻準沒錯？ 別讓迷思成為你命運的殺手！  熱血推薦水精靈│PTT八卦板科普作家侯友宜│新北市市長張賢龢│美國災害應變專家許毓仁│立法委員／TEDxTaipei共同創辦人陳    寧│八仙塵燃事件傷者／作家黃江祥│高雄市政府消防局局長歐陽立中│作家／Super教師鄭國威│泛科知識公司知識長鄭錦桐│興創知能股份有限公司總經理蕭俊傑│科學X博士謝松善│李昌鈺博士物證科學教育基金會副執行長 捫心自問，你腦中的防災觀念是否已經更新？面對火場，你仍堅持「躲浴室、往上逃與沾溼毛巾」？如果你對上述問題的答案存有一絲絲的猶豫，那麼這本書非讀不可！──水精靈（PTT八卦板科普作家）運用各種管道通路給予民眾正確的安全資訊，一直是政府努力的方向。我很樂見宗翰兄能夠透過自身實戰經驗，不吝分享正確防災知識。……最高品質消防事，寧可備而不用，也不要一日不備。──侯友宜（新北市市長） 本書以案例為本的寫作方式，讓各種災害狀況躍然紙上。對不常處理災害的人來說，本書是部百科全書，是家家必備的救命仙丹；對災害應變者而言，本書示範了與大眾溝通的技巧，是本不可錯過的好書。──張賢龢（美國災害應變專家） 很高興能看到宗翰的想法不斷地透過各種形式傳播出去。……我推薦宗翰的書《打火哥的30堂烈焰求生課》，是他在火場奔命換來的智慧結晶。──許毓仁（立法委員／TEDxTaipei共同創辦人） 我是八仙塵燃傷者，讀完本書我試想：若大眾能夠更早遇到本書，面對災害有更直接的應變能力，那我們的傷情是否會有些不同？……祝願所有閱讀本書的人，永遠不要使用到書中的求生技巧。──陳寧（八仙塵燃事件傷者／作家） 非常期待這本書的出版，這是一本每個家庭都應該具備的保命寶典。──黃江祥（高雄市政府消防局局長） 我認為家家戶戶都該有一本《打火哥的30堂烈焰求生課》，畢竟，面對意外火災，滅火器不一定能救你的命，但這本求生寶典，可以。──歐陽立中（作家／Super教師） 本書設計各種情境，讓你讀著讀著如同置身現場。……更用科學思維打破慣常迷思，平易近人的寫法讓每一位讀者都能吸收。身為科學傳播工作者，我認為本書是非常好的寫作典範。──鄭國威（泛科知識公司知識長） 這本書除了讓你知道消防的重要，也希望大家能用心感受蔡宗翰為什麼要成為打火哥。真心推薦這本書。──蕭俊傑（科學Ｘ博士） 這本書對於如何避免火災發生、正確逃生方法及火災應變原則等均有獨到見解，並且將複雜的災害防救理論化為好記秒懂的保命重點，深感重要。──謝松善（李昌鈺博士物證科學教育基金會副執行長） 人人都學過防災觀念，為什麼火災意外仍然層出不窮？事實上，會造成傷亡的原因只有兩個，一是「太晚發現火災」，一是「初期應變錯誤」，而這兩者都是因為一個個錯誤迷思所造成。例如明明該逃卻跑去先做其他事、明明該躲卻硬要穿過濃煙逃生、明明不該用水滅火卻一盆潑下去……，錯誤的判斷與行為，等於把自己直接推入險境。火場不是只有「逃生」的選項，你還要思考的是「求生」！2015年，現役消防員、防災宣導教官蔡宗翰第一次站上TEDxTaipei，其演講中揭櫫的火場迷思，引發各級政府、學校乃至民間對於防災避難的熱烈關注，影片點閱率更達近400萬次。數年來，他在火場上深深體悟我們對抗的不只是火災，更可怕的其實是對火災的錯誤觀念。       火場情境究竟如何判斷？又該如何做決定？本書正是在解決這些問題。透過一件件真實案例，你將跟著一步步深入火場險境，學會： ● 精準擊破30個致命錯誤迷思煮菜時油鍋起火用水澆？身上著火時請人幫忙踩火？瓦斯外洩時趕緊摀口鼻防中毒？發現火災直接打119就對了？只要發現濃煙，關門就能保命？破解30個致命迷思，讓你轉危機為生機！● 全民必做超重要5大防災策略掌握「不會燒」、「燒不大」、「早知道」、「跑得掉」、「救得快」五大策略，居家防災、救災有保障。● 快速掌握30則救命懶人包清楚易懂的圖解，秒懂火場的 Do、Don't 和 How to do。 無論是居家防災、外出應變、課程教學，本書不僅是人手必備的安全寶典，更是你人生中最值得的一筆投資。
