What to do if you think there is a fire…
Never attempt to tackle a fire yourself.
Keep calm and get everyone out of the property.
If there is smoke, keep low where the air is cleaner.
Close doors behind you to contain the fire and reduce damage.
If you are able call 999 as soon as you are safely out of the building
Never return for valuables or pets.
Get out, stay out and call 999
Even if it’s a false alarm, you have done the right thing by raising the alarm, it’s better to be SAFE than sorry.
