Safe evacuation principles

Know your way out before you need it.

  1. 1

    Plan two ways out of every room and agree a meeting point outside.

  2. 2

    If there is smoke, stay low and close doors behind you to slow the fire.

  3. 3

    Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

  4. 4

    Get out, stay out and call 112. Never go back inside for belongings.

  5. 5

    Practise your plan with everyone at home, including children.
