When entering any unfamiliar public place where there are a large number of people, try to remember your way, pay attention to the location of the main and emergency exits. Make it your habit. Experts advise you to remember the exit points and the way to them, because those who know where the nearest exit is have a better chance of escape.
As a rule, evacuation exit signs should be marked with appropriate fire safety signs. Fire safety signs for evacuation purposes have a rectangular or square shape in green with white symbols.
If you heard screams of "Fire! We are on fire!", or they themselves felt the smell of smoke, saw the flames, try to remain calm and calm. Assess the situation, make sure there is a real danger, find out where it comes from.
If the room is filled with smoke or there is no lighting, try to go to the exit, holding onto walls, handrails, etc. Breathe through a handkerchief or a sleeve of clothing.
If you have to move to the exit in a crowd, in no case go against the crowd. If you are carried away by the crowd, try to avoid its center and edge – the dangerous neighborhood of walls, railings, storefronts, grilles, and the embankment.
Dodge everything stationary on the way – pillars, bollards, walls, trees, otherwise you may simply be crushed or smeared. Do not cling to anything with your hands: they can be broken. If possible, fasten up. High-heeled shoes or an untied shoelace can cost you your life. Throw away your bag, umbrella, etc. If something has fallen, do not try to pick it up in any case.
The arms should not be pressed against the body, they should be bent at the elbows, fists pointing upwards, then the arms will be able to protect the chest.

Tilt the body back with your feet planted, and try to restrain the pressure with your back, freeing up space in front and moving slowly.
The main task in a crowd is not to fall. If you are knocked down, you should protect your head with your hands and immediately stand up, which is very difficult to do. Try to stand upright, leaning on the floor with your hands, push off sharply with the other foot, jerk your body straight. If you can't get up, you need to take the fetal position - curl up, press your chin to your chest, knees to your head, cover your head with your hands, and so wait out the human flow. 10. Lead the children in front of you, holding them by the shoulders. Or put them on your shoulders.
If you are in a multi-storey building, do not try to use the elevators, go down the stairs; do not give in to the desire to jump out of the window from a great height. If it is impossible to get out, retreat to the rooms unoccupied by fire and wait for the help of firefighters there.

THE PATH TO THE TOP: THE STORY OF MASTER OF SPORT ALAU MAULETKAN

In 2021, Alua was first introduced to sports tourism at her school’s sports club. She immediately enjoyed climbing ropes and overcoming obstacles — and eagerly waited for summer to try her hand at water tourism.

When summer came, she attended her first training session, got into a boat — and instantly felt that this was her element. Although things didn’t always go smoothly at first, her coaches supported and encouraged her, which gave her confidence. That year, in 2021, she first picked up a paddle. After the summer season, Alua decided to take sports tourism seriously.

By the summer of 2022, she was already training purposefully in the water discipline. Her coaches then suggested she take part in the Republic of Kazakhstan Championships. It was her first major competition, and she won an honorable fourth place. There, for the first time on rapid waters with a strong current, she felt true excitement — thrilling, breathtaking, and unforgettable.

In 2023, Alua again took part in the Republic Championships and won second place in the under-14 category. It was then that a real spark appeared in her eyes — the desire to pursue canoe slalom not just as a hobby, but seriously. If earlier training was simply part of school life, it now became a matter of passion — water tourism revealed itself to her as an exciting, extreme, and adventurous world.

Each training session brings new knowledge and skills. Alua learns to paddle with proper technique, perform complex maneuvers, and maintain balance. At first, she was afraid — to gain speed, to steer the boat, to risk capsizing. But over time, her fears faded away, replaced by confidence and determination. Of course, challenges remain, but now she knows for sure: if you don’t try, you won’t achieve anything.

Her greatest reward has not only been the medals, but also the support of her loved ones — her coaches, parents, grandmother, and friends. Their warm words inspire her and give her strength to keep moving forward.

Today, Alua’s main goal is to win the Asian Junior Championships next year. She dreams about it and firmly believes: she can do it.
