Fire Preparedness
Smoke detectors
Smoke detectors should be installed in as many areas as possible, no fewer than two to an apartment. Test them frequently and replace batteries yearly.
Air is purest closest to the floor
When exiting a smoke-filled apartment it is best to keep your head as close to the floor as possible to avoid smoke and heat.
Escape routes
There should be a minimum of two escape routes out of every apartment. Everyone must know how they would be able to get out in a fire.
Meet up outside
Decide ahead of time where to meet up after the apartment has been exited. This will make it easier to quickly check whether everyone has been able to make it out.
Emergency line – 112
Call the emergency line 112 as soon as it is possible to do so. Say “eldur” or “fire” and give your name, location and telephone number.
Fire extinguishers and blankets
It is necessary to have fire extinguishers and fire blankets in every apartment. Use them if possible. The most important thing is that everyone makes it out unharmed!
