Fire Safety Advice

Fire Kills

The best way to avoid this danger is to prevent fire from starting in the first place.

What you should do

What should you do if you discover a fire in your premises?

You must get everyone out as quickly as possible and call the fire brigade, however if you discover a fire in its very early stages and think that you can deal with it yourself, The first thing that you should remember is that fire spreads very quickly.

Before you tackle a fire...

Many people put out small fires quite safely. Sadly, however, some people die or are injured by tackling a fire which is beyond their capabilities.

Here is a simple fire code to help you decide whether to put out or get out.

1. Only tackle a fire in its very early stages.
2. Always put your own and other peoples safety first.
3. Make sure you can escape if you need to and never let a fire block your exit.
4. Fire extinguishers are only for fighting a fire in its very early stages.
5. Never tackle a fire if it is starting to spread or has spread beyond it's point of origin or if the room is filling with smoke. Around 70% of fire deaths are caused by people being overcome by smoke and fumes.

Even a small, contained fire can quickly spread, producing smoke and fumes, which can kill.

If in doubt do not tackle the fire, no matter how small.

You can put yourself at risk by fighting the fire. If in doubt get out, get the brigade out, stay out.
