Fire Safety FAQ

Stay calm and act fast: alert everyone, evacuate immediately, and call emergency services. Do not stop to collect belongings. If there is smoke, stay low and use the stairs (never the elevator).

Many fires start from cooking accidents, overloaded electrical outlets, heaters placed too close to objects, candles left unattended, and smoking materials. Simple daily habits and regular checks reduce risk a lot.

Avoid overloading sockets, replace damaged wires, unplug devices when not in use, and use certified power strips. If you notice sparks, burning smell, or hot outlets, stop using them and contact a qualified electrician.

Place smoke alarms inside bedrooms, outside sleeping areas, and on every floor. Test them once a month and replace batteries when needed (or at least once a year). Replace the unit if it’s old or not working.

Plan two exits from each room, choose a safe meeting point outside, and practice the escape route. Teach children how to get out safely and remind everyone: once outside, never go back in.
