Fire safety in your home

Use this guide to help you find advice and information on fire safety in your home.

If there is a fire in your building and you are not at risk

  • Stay inside your home if you do not know where the fire is.
  • Close your front door and your windows to stop smoke entering your home.
  • Listen for instructions from the fire brigade. They will direct you to a safe location, if you need to evacuate your home.
  • If you feel threatened by fire or smoke and it is safe to leave your home, leave the building by the emergency exit, closing your front door behind you. Do not use a lift.
