What to do in case of alarm
(i). Check room doors for heat or smoke. Do not open a hot door. Use an
alternate escape route. Close all doors behind you as you leave.
(ii). If smoke is heavy, crawl out, staying close to floor. Take short breaths,
if possible, through a wet cloth or hold your breath. More people die
from smoke inhalation than from flames.
(iii). Get out as fast as you can. Do not stop for packing. Have a prearranged
meeting place outside for all family members. Check everybody is
there.
(iv). Call the Fire Brigade immediately on a mobile phone or from a
neighbour‘s house. Make sure to call the Brigade for all fires no
matter how small - fires can suddenly spread. Also call the Brigade
even if the alarm is automatically transmitted to a remote manned
centre - the link may have failed.
(v). NEVER re-enter a burning house.
