I have no antacids around and no way to get to the drug store currently, are there any foods or anything that could improve the symptoms of heartburn?

A little baking soda and water can quell a bad case very quickly. Just be careful not to overuse antacids, or the problem may get worse.
a glass of cold milk
Drink a ton of water,this will dilute the acid in your stomach.
I’m sorry but I have a problem with one of the answers so far, I would never use baking soda itself. Baking soda can mess up your blood for life, it is pretty dangerous stuff in that regard.
For your heartburn all too often one part of your body is overlooked as the problem for this and that is your back. If you have pinched muscles of any kind, for we don’t feel all of them either, you can be putting pressure on your nerves going to your stomach which is making your stomach overactive. Once your back is released you should feel a relief in your stomach. Here is how to release those muscles:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
When you can get to the store get Aloe Juice and sip 4-8 ounces whenever you even think your getting heartburn. Until then, take two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 ounces of water and drink it in one gulp. How can acid help acid? I have no idea but it works and you can research Apple Cider Vinegar and it is a proven fact that it will stop heartburn immediately.
