Good Safety Habits
Develop and practice a plan of escape:
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and
at least two escape routes from each room. Second
storey windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,
showing everyone what to do in case of a fire.
• Determine a place outside your home where you can
meet if a fire occurs.
• Familiarise everyone with the sound of the alarm and
train them to leave your home when they
hear it.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice
allows you to test your plan before an emergency. You
may not be able to reach your children.
It is important they know what to do.
What to do when the Alarm Sounds
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second
counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking
up valuables.
• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feel-
ing its surface. If hot, or you see smoke seeping through
cracks, don’t open that door!
Instead use your alternative exit.
• If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder
against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if
heat and smoke rush in.
• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky.
Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and
make sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire brigade on 999 from your neighbour’s home
or a call box – not from yours.
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that
it is all right to do so.
