What to Do in Case of Fire
What to Do in Case of Fire
1.
Calmly leave the premises as quickly as possible. Follow your
personalised Escape Plan if possible; otherwise:
a.
Carefully touch doors to ensure they are not hot before
opening them.
b.
Use an alternate exit if necessary.
c.
Crawl along the floor to avoid smoke.
d.
Do not stop to collect anything.
2.
Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building if there
are multiple occupants. Check if anyone is missing, but do not
re-enter the premises.
3.
Call the fire service from outside the building; do not delay your
escape to contact the emergency services.
4.
Do not go back inside a burning building for any reason. Wait for
the fire service to arrive.
NOTE:
These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire; however,
UltraFire cannot predict the exact situation of any home fire. Creating
your own escape plan based on your specific premises and occupants
is the best way to ensure safe evacuation. Follow fire safety guidance
and legislation to reduce the chance that fires will start and prevent
hazardous situations.
