Basic Fire Safety Instructions

• If you see smoke or flames, raise the alarm. Tell
  a grown-up straight away if you can.
• Get out of the building as soon as possible.
• Find a phone and call 18 in France or 999 in the
  UK. Ask for the Fire and Rescue Service, and then
  give your address slowly and calmly. You may need
  to go to the neighbours to find a phone.
• Don't go back into the building - not for toys or
  even pets. Fire fighters can search the house
  much more quickly than you can.
• If there's smoke, crawl along the floor as the
  air is cleanest there.
• If your escape route is blocked, go into a room
  with a window, put things round the door to stop
  smoke getting in, open the window and call for
  help.
• Never hide in a cupboard or under a bed. You need
  to raise the alarm and get out.

Fire Extinguishers

• Only tackle a fire in its very early stages.
• Always put your own and other peoples safety
  first. Make sure you can escape if you need to.
• Fire extinguishers are only for fighting a fire
  in its very early stages. Never tackle a fire if
  it is starting to spread or if the room is
  filling with smoke.
• If you cannot put out the fire or if the
  extinguisher becomes empty, get out and get
  everyone else out of the building immediately.
