WORTHWHILE PRECAUTIONS
LEARN AND TEST THE FIRE EXITS
• Examine your house closely in order to determine two possible fire exits for every room.
In houses with numerous floors, having a ladder on hand can be useful.
• Share this evacuation plan with your entire family and show them what to do in case of a
fire.
• Choose a location outside where the whole family would meet if the fire should spread.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the detector's alarm and practice your evacuation
procedures for each room so that you are ready if the alarm should ever sound.
• Identify your children's bedrooms by placing a reflective sticker on the window, in order
that they can be easily identified at night.
• Carry out fire drills regularly.
It is possible that you may not be able to retrieve your children - it is therefore vital that they
know the fire drills so they can follow them if there is ever a fire.
WHAT TO DO IF THE FIRE ALARM SOUNDS
• Evacuate your house immediately using your evacuation plan.
Every second counts, so don't waste time getting dressed or retrieving valuable objects.
• During an evacuation, do not open a door without first having checked if it is hot, and,
if you see smoke escaping from the gaps, do not open it, and choose a different exit.
If everything seems safe, press your shoulder to the door and open it gently, being ready
to close it quickly if heat or smoke comes through the opening.
• Stay close to the floor if the air is filled with smoke, and breathe lightly through a piece of
wet fabric if possible.
• Once outside at the agreed location, check that every member of your family is present.
• Call the fire service from your neighbor's house, and not from inside your own.
• Do not go back into your house if the firefighters have not said you can do so.
