Fire Escape Plan
The best escape route is normally the way in and out of your home- Make sure your smoke alarm works
- If there is light smoke and you can see ahead, get down low and crawl to safety
- If you have to travel downstairs, go down backwards
- If you find the fire, don't try to put it out. Close the door and get out
- Keep your exits clear. Remove anything that will get in the way if you had to leave your home in a hurry.
- If you live in a block of flats, never use the lift if there's a fire. Always use the stairs.
- Everyone should know where the keys are kept
- Know your address. Remember, when you dial 999 the operator will ask for your address
