Plan your escape route

Plan your escape in the event of a fire and make sure that any people who live with you know what it is.

This could save your life:

keep all exits clear – in both your flat and communal areas
make sure that you know where all the fire exits and alarms are
keep door and window keys where you can find them easily
count how many doors you will need to go through to escape - you need to do this
as you may not be able to see if there is a lot of smoke, and you may become confused about where you are
always keep fire doors in your flat closed - these slow down the spread of any fire and give you longer to escape
