Fires can be loud and scary. The smoke may make it hard to see where you are. All this can make it hard to think clearly, so it's best to make your escape plan before you need it.

FIND 2 WAYS OUT OF EVERY ROOM
You’ll need different routes depending on where the fire is
  • Practice with an adult
    Try and get out through doors if you can. If not, you may have to use windows.
  • Agree a meeting point
    Pick a safe and easy-to-remember place outside to meet after you get out.
DIAL 999
After you get out, dial 999 and ask for the fire brigade

Once out, stay out! Do not go back for anything.
