All English Nature reserves and offices have fire plans, which set out actions to be taken in the event of a fire. These define areas of high risk, list the action procedures and show staff contacts and emergency telephone numbers.

Please ensure that you are familiar with the fire plan and/or evacuation procedures for the place where you are volunteering.

Fire indoors
If you see a fire whilst volunteering in an English Nature office:
		Remember your safety is the first priority
		Do not attempt to tackle the fire yourself
		Raise the alarm
		Exit the building by the nearest safe exit
		Do not stop to collect belongings and do not use lifts
		Assemble with other staff and volunteers at the designated meeting point
		Do not re-enter the building until expressly authorised to do so
		Follow any fire instructions given to you by English Nature staff or the Fire Brigade

If you have any questions about fire safety, contact your Area Team.
