In an emergency If the alarm bell rings and you are in your room stay there! We will send a member of the team to your room immediately. He or she will knock on your door and enter using a master key. They will then help you to exit the building.
We will give you further instructions once we have helped you to a safe point. When you leave your room, please do not stop to collect your personal belongings other than medication that you may need. You will find a safe area on the second floor in close proximity to the fire escape. We will then help you to the nearest lift. We have a structured evacuation to help people who are nearest to the fire, if we move you to the lifer and you are waiting, this will be because you are in no immediate danger. If we have to use the fire stairs, we will transfer you into a lightweight evacuation chair and carry you down the stairs of the building. If a member of staff cannot reach your room, carefully open the door and check your route to the point of safety. If it is blocked of if there is smoke, go back into your room and close the door. The door to your room is fire resistant for up to one hour. As soon as the fire brigade arrive we will tell them your room number. Do not block the door with anything including towels, as this will prevent the fire brigade from entering your room. Do not open any windows as this can increase air circulation and increase smoke and flames. If the fire is in your room, leave your room immediately and close the door behind you. Break the nearest alarm to you. We test the emergency alarms on a Monday at 11.00am. The siren will sound four times for no longer than a minute each time. If we do a test at any other time, we will display a notice in all of the lifts and around the reception foyer.
