7. Practice fire safety
If the alarm sounds, and you have not pushed the test button, it may be warning of a dangerous situation
and your immediate response is necessary. If you are in any doubt regarding the cause of an alarm it
should be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire and the dwelling should be evacuated.
Expose everyone to the sound of a heat alarm and explain what the sound means. Develop family escape
plans, discuss them with all household members, and practice them regularly. Determine the exits from
each room and an escape route to the outside from each exit. Teach all household members to touch the
door and use an alternate exit when the door is hot. Teach household members to crawl along the floor
to stay below heat and dangerous gases. Establish a safe meeting place outside the building.
8. Recommended actions when heat alarm warning has been activated
Raise the alarm by shouting: "Fire! Fire! Fire!", or by banging metal objects together. Evacuate
immediately, using the nearest fire exit. Do not stop to investigate the fire or to collect valuables or pets.
Use your escape route to get everyone out and meet at an agreed point. Along the way, close any open
doors, and only open the doors you need to go through. Check doors and handles with the back of your
hand. If they feel warm, don't open the door. If there is a lot of smoke, crawl along the floor as the air
and visibility will be better.
Once you've got everyone out of the building, call the Fire Brigade from any phone. Give the operator
your name and address. Don't go back into the building for anything. If there is still someone inside, tell
firefighters when they arrive - they will be able to find the person quicker and more safely than you.
Find somewhere safe to wait for the Fire Brigade. When they arrive, try to give them as much information
as possible about the fire and building.
Note: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire, however, to reduce the chance that fires will
start, practice fire safety rules and prevent hazardous situations.
