When the fire is first detected that's when the children should drop everything and leave before the smoke starts to take over the whole building.

I am a carer who works at the residential care home that she lives in. A fault with the electrics causes a fire to start in the downstairs of the home. I am upstairs with Anna helping her get changed as she spilt her drink on herself, when we were alerted to the fire. By the time we were alerted to the fire it had already spread throughout the entire downstairs of the home so it was preventing us from exiting the building down the stairs. There is no other fire exit upstairs to the…

The first step in when a fire is happening is too let everyone in the building know what is going on, you do this by raising the fire alarm for everyone to hear, and then for someone to ring emergency services. Although it may cause panic and distress it must be done so people start evacuating the building. However the health care professional must not leave the building because their duty of care is to look after the service users therefore you must help people who are less able than you for example, disabled, small children, restricted mobility, hearing/visual impairments and the elderly.

The flames gradually died down. All heaved a sigh of relief. The people expressed gratitude to the firemen. Some firemen received minor burns and injuries.…
