What to do now

  • Get out immediately and leave belongings behind.
  • Stay low and crawl under smoke towards your exit.
  • Feel doors before opening; if hot or smoky, keep it shut and use another exit.
  • Close doors behind you and never use lifts.
  • If you cannot reach someone who needs help, get out and call the fire service.
  • If trapped, shut the door, seal gaps with cloth, call for help and signal from a window.
  • If clothes catch fire, stop, drop, cover your face and roll until the flames are out, then cool the burn with cool water.
