Night Routines

Night routines
- Always check all candles and cigarettes are completely put out before going to sleep.
- Turn off all non-required appliances such as TVs and computers; every night there is a power surge on the National Grid and even if your appliances do not catch fire, they could still be damaged.
- If you have one, keep your mobile phone where you can easily reach it in bed – this could be the difference between you being able to call 999 and not.
- Keep torches in easy-to-access places; being able to pick up a torch straight away will help you escape a dark, smoke-filled room.
