What to do if the fire alarm rings

This is what the fire alarm sounds like:

  • Immediately leave the building via the nearest and safest exit and tell others to do likewise
  • Do not use lifts
  • Close doors behind you
  • When outside, go to the nearest place of assembly designated for your area and stay there until the Fire & Rescue Service has completed an evacuation check of the building. Inform the Fire Service or local Fire Assembly Officer if you know of anyone still inside

If the alarm is sounding in an adjoining building

  • Stay where you are but be prepared to leave if the alarm starts sounding in your area
  • DO NOT walk into an area where the alarm is sounding
