Safety from Fire
Fire can kill you and badly damage your home. There are some simple things you can do to stop a fire from starting.
- Do not leave the kitchen when you are cooking.
- Do not put candles near anything that could catch fire, like curtains or sofas.
- You should make a safety plan to make sure that you can get out of your home if there is a fire.

What to do if a fire starts
- Try to keep calm and get out as quickly as you
can – do not stop to collect things. If there is smoke, keep low where the air is clearer. - If you can't get out and you are on the ground or first floor, drop some cushions, pillows or blankets out of the window to land on and carefully lower yourself
- If you cannot get out of any doors or windows, go into a room where there is no fire. Shut the door. Put a towel, blanket or clothing at the bottom of the door to stop smoke
coming in. - Read more in the leaflet below....
