Fire/smoke
Raise the alarm
If safe to do so ensure the immediate safety of anyone within the vicinity of the fire.
Raise the alarm if not already sounding, using a break glass alarm panel or by shouting ‘Fire, Fire, Fire’ if a panel is not available. The alarm system automatically notifies the Fire and Emergency Services and Security (who then notifies other emergency personnel).
Phone Security (call 2222). Give your name, building, level, room number, type and extent of the fire/smoke and inform your supervisor or Building Warden if safe to do so.
Evacuate the immediate area.
Fire fighting
If safe to do so and if trained in the use of fire equipment – attempt to extinguish the fire.
Choose the correct fire extinguisher. Do not use water or foam on an electrical fire.
