Teaching your children what to do if there's a fire

  • If you see smoke or flames, raise the alarm and tell a grown-up straight away.


  • Get out of the building as soon as possible. Go to a neighbour's house and tell them to call 999 and ask for the Fire & Rescue Service.


  • If there's smoke, crawl along the floor as the air is cleanest there.


  • Never hide in a cupboard or under a bed. You need to raise the alarm and get out.


  • If your escape route is blocked, go into a room with a window. Put blankets and towels at the bottom of the door to stop smoke getting in. If there's a phone in the room call 999. If there isn't a phone, open the window and shout for help.


  • Don't go back into the building, not even for your toys or pets. Firefighters can search the house much more quickly and safely than you can.
