Fire

Save

Make an assessment of the situation. Rescue those in immediate danger.
Be careful not to breathe smoke! Smoke is highly toxic and you can lose consciousness quickly if you breathe it.

Warn

Warn others in the building about the fire and the threatening danger.
Direct people to the gathering area.

Alert

Call the emergency number 112 from a safe location.
Tell who you are, where the fire is (address and floor), what is on fire, and if there are people in danger.
Do not hang up the phone until you are given permission to do so.

Extinguish

Perform initial extinguishing measures, where possible.
A grease fire is extinguished by suffocating it with a fire blanket.
When an electrical appliance is on fire, disconnect power and begin extinguishing the fire.

Limit

Remove fire sensitive items and flammable liquids.
Contain the spread of fire and smoke by closing windows and the door as you exit.

Guide

Direct the rescue personnel to the location or arrange guidance. For example: one person stays to guide on the side of the parking lot and another next to the building.

Using the lift in the event of a fire is strictly forbidden!

In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Helsingin poliisilaitoksen Pasilankadun jalkakäytävä

Back-up gathering area: Määritetään tarvittaessa

Jos kuulet palovaroittimen soivan porraskäytävässä älä soita välittömästi 112 vaan tarkasta näkyykö porraskäytävässä savua. Jos savua näkyy, soita 112. Mikäli savua ei näy, soita huoltoyhtiö tarkastamaan tilanne.

Jos toisessa asunnossa soi palovaroitin, tarkista näkyykö savua, jos ei niin soita huoltoyhtiö tarkastamaan tilanne.
