What do I do if there's a fire in my block of flats?

What to do in an emergency (flats)
If there is a fire is in your block of flats there are two different actions you might take: stay where you are or evacuate the block with other residents.

If you evacuate (get out) please shut doors behind you if possible (to stop the spread of fire) and then call the fire service once you are out of the building.

There are notices in each block to tell you what we advise you to do for the building you live in. Please call the homeownership team IMMEDIATELY on 01305 216153 if you are not sure what to do if there is a fire where you live.
