In Case of Fire
Keep calm.
Act quickly.
Tell everyone in your home.
"Don't delay - get everyone out".
- Don't waste time investigating or rescuing valuables
- Before you open a door check it with the back of
your hand. If its warm, don't open it - fire is on
the other side. Remember to shut doors behind you.
In case Escape Route is Bloked
- Get everyone into one room, with a window that opens,
and shut the door.
- Put cushions and bedding around the bottom of the
door to block out smoke
- Open the window and call for help
IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT, FIND A SAFE PLACE TO WAIT
Get out of a Window
- If you're on the ground or first floor, you may
be able to escape through a window. If you are higher
up, only consider this if you are in immediate danger.
- If you need to break a window, use a heavy object
to break the glass in the bottom corner. Then knock
out the glass. Be careful of jagged edges, make them
safe by laying a towel or blanket over them
- Break your fall with cushions and bedding. Remember,
don't jump - lower yourself before dropping
IF THERE 'S SMOKE KEEP LOW TO THE GROUND WHERE THE
AIR IS CLEANER.
If your Clothes Catch Fire
- Don't run around, you will fan the flames and make
them burn faster.
- Lie down and roll around. It makes it harder for
the fire to spread and smothers the flames
- Smother the flames with a heavy material, like a
coat, blanket or a fire blanket
STOP DROP
ROLL
Stay Out
Don't go back in for anything, even if there's someone
left inside. Wait for the Fire and Rescue Service and
give them as much information as possible.
If there is a Fire
GET OUT
STAY OUT
AND CALL 101
