페이지 인쇄Planning Your Escape Route For When The
Alarms Sound
1. Check room doors for heat or smoke. Do not
open a hot door. Use an alternate escape route.
Close doors behind you as you leave.
2. If smoke is heavy, crawl out, staying close to
floor. Take short breaths, if possible, through a
wet cloth or hold your breath. More people die
from smoke inhalation than from flames.
3. Get out as fast as you can. Do not stop
for packing. Have a prearranged meeting
place outside for all family members. Check
everybody is there.
4. Call the Fire Brigade from a neighbour's
house or mobile phone. Remember to give your
name and address.
5. NEVER re-enter a burning house.
4. Alarm Limitations
Limitations of Smoke Alarms
While Smoke Alarms are extremely effective,
independent authorities have stated that they
may be ineffective in some circumstances.
There are a number of reasons for this:
• Smoke Alarms will not work if the batteries
are depleted or if they are not connected.
Replace the batteries if necessary. Also check
the replace by date on the side of the Alarm.
• Smoke Alarms will not detect fire if sufficient
smoke does not reach the Alarm. Smoke may
be prevented from reaching the Alarm if the
fire is too far away, for example, if the fire is
on another floor, behind a closed door, in a
chimney, in a wall cavity, or if the prevailing
air draughts carry the smoke or heat away.
Installing Smoke Alarms on both sides of closed
doors and installing more than one Alarm as
recommended in this leaflet very significantly
improve the probability of early detection.
• The Smoke Alarms may not be heard.
• A Smoke Alarm may not wake a person who
has taken drugs or alcohol.
• The Alarms may not detect every type of
fire to give sufficient early warning. They
are particularly ineffective with: fires caused
by smoking in bed, escaping gas, violent
explosions, poor storage of flammable rags
and/or liquids, (for example petrol, paint,
spirits etc), overloaded electrical circuits, arson,
children playing with matches.
• Current studies have shown smoke alarms
may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and
that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others
to provide assistance to those who may not
be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those
who may be incapable of safely evacuating the
area unassisted
Limitations of Heat Alarms
There are various situations where a Heat
Alarm may not be effective:
• Fires where the victim is intimate with a
flaming initiated fire; for example, when a
person's clothes catch fire while cooking.
• Fires where the heat is prevented from
reaching the Heat Alarm due to a closed door
or other obstruction.
• Incendiary fires where the fire grows so
rapidly that an occupant's egress is blocked
even with properly located Heat Alarms
