Fire

Action

If fire breaks out in your flat:

  1. Leave the room where the fire is straight away, then close the door.
  1. Tell everyone in your flat and get them to leave. Close the front door of your flat behind you.
  1. Do not stay behind to put the fire out.
  1. Dial 999 or 112 to call the fire service. *
  1. Wait outside, away from the building at a place of safety.

If you see or hear of a fire in another part of the building:

  1. The building is designed to contain a fire in the flat where it starts. This means it will usually be safe for you to stay in your own flat if the fire is elsewhere. 
  1. You must leave IMMEDIATELY, if smoke or heat affects your flat, or if you are told to by the fire and rescue service.
  1. If you are in any doubt, get out.

Would you or someone in your household have difficulty responding to a smoke alarm or escaping fire in your flat without some assistance?
