The safest way to deal with fire is to prevent it!

Step 1- Raise the Alarm

-Raise the Alarm!
-Call the Fire & Rescue Service!
-Fire Marshals should check escape routes!

*Somebody may attempt to extinguish the fire if:
The fire is Small and manageable
The appropriate type of fire extinguisher is available

Only fight the fire if:

-You have been trained in the use of extinguishers
-It is safe for you to do so
-Your escape route is clear
-The fire can easily be controlled by using only 1 extinguisher

Step 2- Evacuate
-Be prompt and calm!
-Turn off any hazardous machinery!
-Do not stop to collect personal belongings!
-Head to the nearest fire exit!

Step 3- Get to the Assembly Point
-Meet at the assembly point
-Check the number of people
-Don’t re-enter the building

*If You Become Trapped Inside
-Try and get to a room with a window.
-If you’re on the first floor, open a window and lower yourself to arm’s length, then drop to the floor.
-Never jump from a window and make sure to first throw down some soft materials onto the ground outside.
-If you’re too high up to attempt this, then use the window to call for help and also call 999.

-Block the gaps under doors with materials such as clothing, bedding, towels, etc. to prevent smoke from entering.

-If your clothes ever catch fire, don’t run around as this will fan the flames; instead, remember:

Stop

Drop        Stop immediately, drop to the ground, and roll to smother the flames.
