If you are cut off by fire
- Try to remain calm and alert people in the home.
- Close the door and use towels or similar to block any gaps to help stop smoke spreading into the room.
- Try to make your way to a window.
- If the room becomes smoky, crawl along the floor as the smoke rises.
- Open the window. This will allow smoke to escape and provide you with fresh air.
- Call 999 and give as much detail as possible about the fire, including the property number and floor of the property.
