Remember!!
If there is a fire, call 112 and ask for the fire birgade. Tell the person on the phone: 1. What is on fire 2. The address 3. If there is anyone in the house |
 |
A smoke alarm is a warning device that detects smoke when a fire starts. It makes a very loud noise. Every house should have at least one smoke alarm. The smoke alarm should be checked every month to make sure it is working. Replace the batteries in a smoke alarm at least once every year and keep it free from dust. |
 |
It is important to keep the floor clear of toys and games so you don't fall over if you have to leave your home quickly. |
 |
You should have an escape plan for getting out of your house quickly if there is a fire. It is a good idea to put the escape plan in a place where everybody can see it. Good escape plans have two ways of getting out of each room. When escaping, stay low to the floor because smoke rises during a fire. |
