Do not try to swim through burning oil or debris. If you must go through the flames to get to safety ___.

When you’re moving through flames to safety, the goal is to minimize heat exposure and avoid ignition from the surface oil and debris. Removing bulky gear like a lifejacket and shoes reduces everything that can ignite or trap heat around you and helps you move more freely underwater. Swimming beneath the surface keeps you out of the direct flames and away from the burning oil layer, giving you cooler, safer passage toward safety. Surfacing only when you’re clear of the flames lets you breathe without being re-exposed to the heat.
