In case of 'FIRE' in your home, would you know what
to do?
This leaflet explains How to make a safe exit from your
home.
"FIRE PREVETION IS BETTER THAN FIGHTING".
Fighting fire is a specialized job and best left to
the professional fire fighters.
Make your escape plan and get out alive. Talk every
body in your home and make an escape plan today.
Once out, stay out!
Never go back into the Building
until the fire fighters say it is safe!
- Draw a map of your home. Show every room
door, and window and the location of all fire safety
arrangements
- Mark an easy way out of each room. Then find
a second way out.
- Help the grown-ups pick a meeting place outside
in front of your home. That's where everyone goes
when they escape a fire.
- Learn the emergency Fire Service number 101 department.
Call once you get outside.
Advance Plan
Make sure that you have "Safe Escape Plan"
in case of Fire involving, everyone in your home, especially
children, the elderly and disabled.
- By following the advice in this leaflet and planning
your escape route together, you can save lives of
yours, family members, relatives, and community members.
- Make sure every one knows where to find door and
window keys.
- The best escape route is your normal way in and
out of your home so keep it clear.
- Think of difficulties you may have getting out,
for example in the middle of the night.
- Choose a second escape route, in case the first
one is blocked.
- If you can't escape, you will need to find a room
to wait in until the Fire and Rescue Service arrive.
Choose a safe room, ideally one with a phone, and
a window that opens.
