PREVENTION
They say prevention is better than cure and in this case it's a fact. The best advice we can give about fire is - don't have one! By following the safety tips in our leaflets it is possible to avoid the worst. Ban the (chip) Pan - get a deep fat fryer.
ESCAPE PLAN
OK, you've tried your best -but it still happens, what now? Well, you've still got those precious seconds -because you installed a Smoke Alarm and it went off ('coz the battery hasn't been taken for something else and you change it every year). Now you all need to get out -quickly. Far better to have practiced this before -in the light, without the panic, so you know what the plan is. Remember GET OUT-GET THE BRIGADE OUT, and... STAY OUT!
DETECTION
Here we mean SMOKE DETECTORS. (see the presentation in the LECTUREROOM) The Community Fire Safety department has a special offer on these - and the battery has a life of 10 years!. No chance of forgetting to re-new it! Ring 0191 5149334 for details. Remember! you have approximately Three Minutes before your house turns into the photo above - vital seconds count, a detector gives you that extra time - to get out -Alive!
