Fire TipsDO NOT DELETE

• Ensure you have a working fire detector on every floor – test it every week.

• Don’t overload sockets. If too many appliances draw power from one socket it can overheat.

• Don’t run wires under carpets or rugs.

• Make sure all the persons making use of the premises know how to get out of the building quickly, taking into account various scenarios where a fire could prevent escape via normal routes.

• Make sure you know how to open locks on windows and doors in the event of an emergency and ensure that keys are readily available.

• Ensure that doors are closed at night, so that should a fire start it will be contained.

• Never leave lit candles unattended, and make sure that they are in appropriate candle holders that they cannot fall.

• Replace any cracked or frayed electric cords.

• If an appliance or electrical equipment starts smoking, or has an unusual smell, unplug it and have it seen to by a professional.

• Store matches and lighters well out of children’s reach.
  
  
  
• Pay special attention to the kitchen area because accidents that occur whilst cooking account for over half of all household fires. You should have a fire extinguisher or a fire blanket handy in the kitchen.

• A gas/smoke detector can be an important tool to help protect you from fire.
