In the Case of a Serious Emergency:

FIRE - Get out, stay out and call 999
• Keep calm and act quickly
• Using your pre-planned escape route, get everyone out of the building as quickly as possible
• Seconds count so don’t waste time investigating or rescuing valuables
• Before opening a door, check it first by using the back of your hand. If it’s warm, don’t open it!
• When moving through the home, remember to shut doors behind you to help contain the
fire, where safe to do so
• If there’s smoke, keep low where the air is clearer
• Get out of the building, call 999 and stay out
• Find somewhere safe and wait for the fire and rescue service - don’t be tempted to go back
inside
