Solution

Find out the telephone number of the fire service in your area. If a fire breaks out in your house or in your neighbourhood, the first thing to do is to call the fire service.

Try do not to panic,

tell everyone in the house

using your pre-planned escape route, get everyone out of the building as quickly as possible

smoke rises so stay low or crawl on the floor in the cleaner air where it's easier to breathe

don't stop to collect any valuables or possessions

don't stop to look for pets

if possible, close the door to the room where the fire is located and close all doors behind you as you leave (to delay the spread of fire and smoke)

before opening a closed door, touch it with the back of your hand; don't open it if feels warm - the fire will be on the other side
