If you live in a flat, block, or building, you can find your evacuation procedure on the fire action notices that are displayed in communal areas.
- Resident fire safety information if your fire action notice says 'Stay Put'
- Resident fire safety information if your fire action notice says 'Simultaneous Evacuation'
If you have a fire in your home, evacuate immediately and call 999.
