WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE 

1. Don’t panic; stay calm.
2. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors to feel

if they are hot before opening them. Use an alternate exit if

necessary. Crawl along the floor, and DO NOT stop to collect

anything. 

3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building. 
4. Call the fire brigade (Dial 999) from OUTSIDE the building.
5. DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE A BURNING BUILDING. Wait for 

the fire brigade to arrive. 

These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire. However, to
reduce the chance that fires will start, practice fire safety rules and
prevent hazardous situations
