If you cannot fight a fire with extinguishing materials please follow this procedure:
- SHOUT A WARNING / RAISE THE ALARM
- EVACUATE THE BUILDING THROUGH ESCAPE ROUTE(S)
- CLOSE THE DOORS BEHIND YOU TO MINIMISE THE SPREAD OF FIRE
- ACCOUNT FOR ALL OCCUPANTS
- CALL THE FIRE BRIGAGE (payphone in house).
If all major escape routes become blocked, gather everyone together into one room, close the door and place towels or bedding along the bottom to seal the gap. Open a window staying close to it to breathe the fresh air and raise the alarm to neighbours.
