Dinner is over. Now it's time to wind down and catch up on all those episodes of Gossip Girl. You pop Season 4 into the DVD player, reach for the remote and settle down on your favourite couch. Oh, the wonders of technology: 22glorious episodes, all in the palm of your hand.
Then it happens. At first it's only slightly noticeable. Something smells odd. You take a big whiff: it smells like something is burning. But it's coming from somewhere else. It must be your neighbour's overcooked roast. It's hard to tell.
Soon, there's no denying it now: there's a fire in the building.
What to do
Remain calm and act quickly. Get out.
Most people caught in fires die not from the flames but from breathing in too much smoke. Don't bother to call 999. Get out.
