When no other means are available, the bystanders, in the absence of a jumping sheet, should collect such blankets, bedding, &c., as are at hand, and thus be prepared in case the inmates should throw themselves from the windows. In the event of there being a scarcity of bedding, a blanket or carpet, held and stretched out by several persons, will serve the purpose.
The great difficulty of getting horses from a stable, when adjacent buildings are on fire is well known; and many horses have perished in the flames in consequence.
When a stable is on fire, the horses should be immediately removed; the usual harness put on, the eyes bandaged, a damp or wet cloth placed over the nose and mouth, then led out as if they were going to their regular work; and they will generally do so without difficulty. This has been done on several occasions with great success.
