In the case of a fire
- Get everyone out of the building
- Stay out
- Dial the Fire Service immediately on 999 – free from any phone
- If possible, close all doors and windows behind you (to delay fire spreading)
- Check closed doors before opening – if it feels hot, there may be fire behind it. DO NOT open it!
Plan a Fire Escape Route
- Plan what you would do if there were a fire in your home
- Always keep the escape routes clear
- Make sure everyone in your home is familiar with the escape plan
- If the main exit from your home locks with a key, make sure the key is always easily accessible, and everyone in your household knows where it's kept.
You can find more detailed advice on the Fire Service website.
In the case of a gas leak
If you smell gas strongly:
- Turn off the gas lever at the mains, which is next to the gas meter, by pulling the lever down
- Do not operate electrical switches – on or off. A spark could cause an explosion
- Put out any naked flames and cigarettes
- Open windows and doors
- Phone 0800 111 999, the local gas emergency telephone number, immediately
If there is a weaker smell of gas, still phone 0800 111 999. Treat it as a serious gas leak and follow above procedures. You can find more detailed gas advice on the safety section of the National Grid website.
