•
Familiarise each member of the family with the detector siren and tell them to leave the
house when the alarm sounds.
•
Conduct a fire drill every six months, especially at night. These drills will allow all occupants
to test the plan before an emergency arises.
•
Recent studies have shown that smoke detectors may not wake all individuals sleeping in the
house, it is therefore the responsibility of each capable member of the family to help others
and to wake anyone who has not been woken by the alarm, as well as those incapable of
evacuating the house without help.
8) WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS?
•
Alert all members of the family, especially any young children and seniors in the house.
•
Immediately leave the house as per your evacuation plan. Every second counts. Do not
waste time getting dressed or collecting valuable items.
•
Do not open any internal door without first touching its surface. Do not open the door if
it is hot or if smoke is escaping around the edges. Use another exit as specified in your
plan. If the door is not hot, place your shoulder against the door, open it slowly but be
ready to close it again quickly if smoke and/or heat enter the room you are in.
•
Keep your face close to the floor if the air is filled with smoke. Do not breathe deeply and
cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth if possible.
•
Once outside, go to the pre-selected assembly point and make sure everyone is present.
•
Call the fire brigade from your neighbour's house or your mobile phone once outside. Do
not call them from your own home.
•
Do not re-enter the house until authorised to do so by the fire brigade.
•
Smoke detectors may be unable to protect you from fire under certain situations. For
example:
4. Smoking in bed
5. Leaving children alone in the house
6. Using flammable cleaning fluids such as petrol
