The five key messages that your family should be aware of are listed on the right hand side of this page. They may seem straight forward but in the event of a fire, there’s usually no time to stop and think.
Despite our best prevention efforts, a home fire may still occur. Half a minute after the smoke alarm goes off, an entire floor of your house or flat could be filled with dense smoke.
At the first sign of smoke or fire, you must act quickly and calmly. By developing an effective escape plan and practicing it often with your family, it will help you react appropriately in a fire emergency.
