FIRE

Guidance provided by Pembroke Property Management on 30^th November 2017
 
If a fire breaks out in your flat

• Leave the room where the fire is straight away, then close the door.
• Tell everyone in your flat and get them to leave
• Close the flat entrance door behind you.
• Do not stay behind to put the fire out
• Do not use the lift
• Raise the alarm by using a break glass call point
• Wait outside, away from the building
• Call the fire service – dial 999 or 112

 
If you see or hear of a fire in another part of the building

• The building is designed to contain a fire in the flat where it starts
• This means it will usually be safe for you to stay in your own flat if the fire is elsewhere
• If corridors are affected by smoke, stay in your flat, get as far away as possible from the smoke and close all doors
• You must also leave immediately if smoke or heat affects your home or if you are told to leave by the fire service
• Do not use the lift
• If you are in doubt – get out

 
To call the fire service

• Dial 999 from a landline or 112 from a mobile
• When the operator answers, give your telephone number and ask for fire
• When the fire service reply, give the address where the fire is
• Do not end the call until the fire service has repeated the address correctly

 
DO NOT

• Attempt to fight the fire, or go back into the building
• Enter rooms or corridors which are full of smoke
• Attempt to escape through areas affected by smoke
• Do not use the lift
• Do not re-enter the building
