Fire Escape Plan

  • fire buttonThe 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
