What to do in the event of a fire
In the event of a fire, you must:
- Call 999 or 112 from any telephone and ask for the Fire Service
- Give your address and postcode.
If you live in a flat, the Fire Action Notice in the communal area will tell you what to do in an emergency. It may be that it is safer for you to remain in your flat, rather than leave immediately.
Fire doors
Fire doors are crucial, life-saving safety devices, designed to restrict the spread of smoke and fire.
Please do:
- Ensure fire doors are kept shut when not in use
- Report any faults or damage immediately to Eastlight by clicking here.
Please don't:
- Alter or change your flat front door without prior consent from Eastlight
- Tamper with doors or self-closing devices.
