Make a Fire Escape Plan
- Keep your escape route clear of toys and other objects.
- Keep escape route clear of toys and other objects.
- If you see smoke or flames, raise the alarm and tell a grown-up straight away.
- Check that there is not a fire behind closed doors by feeling for heat with the back of your hand.
- If there's smoke, crawl along the floor as the air is cleanest there.
- 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 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.
