What to do if there is a fire
Our main fire safety rule is usually to "stay put." This means if there's a fire somewhere else in the building, it's generally safest for you to stay in your own flat.
If the Fire is in Your Flat:
- Get out immediately using the safest way.
- Make sure your front door closes behind you.
- Call 999 for the fire service as soon as you are safely away from the fire.
If the Fire is NOT in Your Flat:
- Stay in your flat and call 999.
- Our buildings are designed to keep a fire contained in the flat where it starts. This usually means it's safe for you to stay in your own home.
- South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service will decide if anyone needs to leave the building.
